Mike Goldberg previously worked at APA (now IAG: Independent Artist Group) as a TV/Film/IP Agent & Partner for over nine years. He spearheaded efforts to combine APA's TV, Film & Intellectual Property units into “APA Scripted Literary,” resulting in APA elevating him to partner in 2019. Goldberg has represented 100+ high-level writers and IP creators, including the “Master of Horror” John Carpenter, Atari, SEGA, Square Enix, Macmillan, Andrews McMeel Publishing and the New York Yankees. Goldberg’s unique role in representation earned him a coveted spot on Variety’s 2020 list of “Hollywood’s New Leaders,” and he was widely considered to be a thought leader in the modern entertainment era, as well as one of Hollywood’s top agents for selling videogame IP into television & film - with over 80 closed IP deals before his 2022 agency exit.
