President-elect Donald Trump announce several more nominations of people to serve in his administration on Saturday, including Mark Burnett, the producer of “The Apprentice,” a reality TV show Trump starred in from 2004 to 2015.
Burnett, 64. was born in the United Kingdom.
Politico wrote, “Burnett was the architect of Trump’s post-bankruptcy image — and is largely responsible for Trump’s rise in the national imagination as a high-powered Manhattan businessman.”
In addition to Burnett, Trump announced roles in his administration for multiple other people on Saturday. Below is the list, along with Trump’s statements:
Mark Burnett: Special Envoy to the United Kingdom
It is my great honor to appoint Mark Burnett as the Special Envoy to the United Kingdom. With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.
Mark is known for creating and producing some of the biggest shows in Television History, including “Survivor,” “Shark Tank,” “The Voice” and, most notably, “The Apprentice.” He is the former Chairman of MGM, and has won 13 Emmy Awards!
Mark will work to enhance diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges.
Congratulations Mark!
