Madison Square Garden Co., said it has named Donna Coleman executive vice president and chief financial officer. Coleman had been serving as interim CFO since May, after former CFO Sean Creamer resigned.  She will report directly to MSG president and CEO David O’Connor.

Madison Square Garden split its sports teams, entertainment venues and regional sports networks earlier this month in a transaction that created two separate publicly traded entities. Madison Square Garden includes professional sports teams the New York Knicks, The New York Rangers and the New York Liberty as well as noted entertainment venues like Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and The Beacon Theater. MSG Networks includes regional sports networks MSG Network and MSG Plus.

Coleman had previously served as executive vice president of corporate financial planning and control at Cablevision Systems for more than 15 years before retiring in December 2014. Prior to that she served as  senior vice president of corporate financial planning and control from 2011 to 2012, after serving as senior vice president of planning and operations for more than 10 years.

“We are extremely pleased that Donna has agreed to stay at MSG,” O’Connor said in a statement. “Over the last five months, Donna has proven to be an invaluable member of the team, helping to guide the company through our recent spin-off. With her considerable financial and operating experience, we are confident that she is the ideal executive to help lead the company as we implement our ambitious plans to build on our tremendous legacy."

Coleman will be responsible for strategic financial insight on all facets of the business, helping prioritize opportunities and drive value creation. Additionally, she oversees all of MSG’s financial and accounting matters, including forecasting, budgeting and financial planning and analysis, as well as the company’s treasury, investor relations, tax and risk management functions.

“I am thrilled to be at MSG during such an important time for the company,” Coleman said in a statement. “We have worked hard over the last several months to position MSG for its next chapter. I look forward to working with the management team and employees across the company to ensure we continue to deliver excellence across our operations, and pursue strategic growth initiatives that will allow us to expand our leadership position and create long-term shareholder value.”

Madison Square Garden Co. said Monday it has named David Goodman president of productions and live entertainment, effective Sept. 22. He will report to MSG President and CEO, Tad Smith.

In this new role, Goodman will oversee MSG Entertainment’s productions and franchises, including the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in New York and other markets, as well as the company’s new large scale theatrical production, which is set to debut in spring 2015. He will also be responsible for new business development, including launching new productions at MSG venues: The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, the Forum in Inglewood, CA and the Chicago Theatre. In addition, Goodman will be charged with extending MSGE productions and events into new markets and expanding the Rockettes brand. Other responsibilities will include overseeing the development and execution of strategies that maximize the impact and success of MSGE’s live event marketing, sponsorship, group sales and merchandising.

“We are pleased to welcome David to MSG Entertainment, one of the country’s leading live entertainment organizations and home to one of the most beloved live event traditions in America, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular,” Smith said in a statement. “David brings considerable experience as a successful and innovative leader in live events, and his expertise will be instrumental as we strengthen and build upon our roster of iconic live entertainment assets.”

Before joining MSG, Goodman spent 12 years at CBS, most recently as president of CBS Live Experiences. Prior to that, Goodman held the position of president, CBS Interactive Music Group, where he oversaw consumer/digital music properties that included Last.fm, MetroLyrics and Radio.com. During that time, he also created and produced the award-winning “Live on Letterman,” one of the web’s most successful live music series.

On the television side, Goodman launched Saban Entertainment’s domestic television division. As senior vice president, domestic television, overseeing marketing, distribution and home video, Goodman was a key player behind the innovative strategy that helped make Mighty Morphin Power Rangers a global phenomenon. He also developed and launched the popular and long-running tween girl series, “Sweet Valley High,” as well as developed and oversaw Saban’s programming partnership with UPN.

“As a producer and programmer, I am thrilled to join The Madison Square Garden Company and look forward to working with Jim Dolan, Tad and their outstanding management team,” Goodman said in a statement. “Having the opportunity to further develop and grow MSG’s iconic brands and create new productions for its legendary venues is extremely exciting.”
