As part of his current role as Head of Unscripted Development, Global Formats, Yu leads a team that oversees unscripted slates for newer territories such as Australia and Canada, and drives the expansion of hit original franchises around the world, such as All Or Nothing, LOL: Last One Laughing, and Wild and Free.
