Mark Koops has a track record of launching and operating successful independent production shingles producing innovative content for over 25 years. Koops is responsible for developing, creating, and showrunning thousands of hours of programming, including unscripted TV franchises The Biggest Loser (NBC), Masterchef (Fox), and Carpe DM with Juanpa (Roku). Koops has also been at the forefront of creative dealmaking with groundbreaking non-linear projects like then real-time doc series @Summerbreak, advertiser-supplied series like The Restaurant (NBC) and Blow Out (Bravo), the Emmy-nominated comedic anthology The Crossroads of History, and the Emmy-nominated hybrid comedy Making a Scene with James Franco.

The full-service independent production company, INE Entertainment, he founded in 2011, was born out of a mission to combine great storytelling with innovative producing as the best way to serve tomorrow’s linear and non-linear distributors, an increasingly diverse community of talent in front of and behind the camera, and the progressively dynamic relationship between audiences, media platforms, and brands.
