ELLEN ROCAMORA

I’m an Emmy-winning Executive Producer with more than 23 years of experience creating television and digital content. I’ve received 8 Emmy Awards, 3 Webby Awards, and more than 10 GLAAD Awards, and have produced over 3,000 episodes of television, with more than a billion views across platforms.

I spent many years at The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where I led the Human-Interest team. That work focused on storytelling that was heartwarming, surprising, and often life-changing, finding real people and real moments that could connect with a wide audience in a meaningful way. It’s a part of my career that continues to shape how I think about story.

My work spans a range of formats, from topical and news-driven segments to comedy, gameplay, and long-form interviews. I’ve had the opportunity to tell stories about real people, including teachers, community leaders, talented kids, and cultural voices, often highlighting individuals who are making a meaningful impact in their communities.

I’ve produced large-scale formats including Ellen’s Game of Games, Family Game Fight, and Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways, and have developed and produced projects for platforms including Netflix, Amazon, and YouTube.

Most recently, I developed and produced a long-form, conversation-driven podcast hosted by David Begnaud, leading production from studio buildout through post. Guests included Oprah Winfrey, Ava DuVernay, Charlie Puth, Arthur Brooks, Jason Ballard, and Sherry Lansing.

In the digital space, I’ve produced over 100 episodes of original scripted and unscripted series, garnering more than a billion views across platforms, with projects including Momsplaining with Kristen Bell (250 million views), She’s Brielle-iant (58 million), and The Build Up (23 million). More recently, I developed and sold a series to AMC and developed a series with Questlove.

At the center of my work is a focus on telling stories that feel real, whether they’re funny, emotional, unexpected, or grounded in something bigger.

And if there’s an opening, I’ll usually find a way to bring up my 11-year-old pup, Corduroy. I’m a lifelong dog person and spend time volunteering with animal rescue organizations.
