LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tremendous! Entertainment continues to expand and diversify its non-scripted television slate as it welcomes creative executive Jesse J. Leed as VP of Development for male skewing series.

He began his career circling the globe as a production manager and producer for Miss USA and Miss Universe for NBC, Fox’s New Year’s Eve Live from Times Square and The Singing Bee on NBC.
Leed joins forces with Tremendous! Entertainment’s VP of Development Tim Hamilton in an already robust department that recently launched nine new series and specials for VH1, Animal Planet, National Geographic, Travel Channel, GMC, PBS and Destination America.

“I am a huge fan of the male skewing space and I’m excited to hit the ground running,” said Jesse Leed. “I look forward to building on an already strong foundation at Tremendous! where I can live by one of my favorite old African Proverbs....If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
