Andres Rinco Canela Media
Canela Media welcomed seasoned media sales industry professional Andrés Rincón as SVP of Sales overseeing the East Coast region. The new addition comes as Canela Media emerges as one of the fastest-growing media companies in the marketplace, launching the advertiser-supported streaming service Canela.TV earlier this year.
“Andres has a reputation that precedes him based on his deep understanding of the Hispanic marketplace and ability to translate that into campaigns that drive results for brands and organizations,” said Isabel Rafferty, founder, and CEO of Canela Media. “In its infancy, Canela.TV has already surpassed initial goals and results and we are confident that under Andres’ leadership, we can become the leading entertainment platform that connects brands in a mindful way with the US Latino audience.”
Rincón joins Canela Media from LATV Networks where he served as VP of Sales and Strategic Partnership for the past 10 years and was responsible for revenue and stewarding the company’s linear network, digital platforms, client relationships, and go-to-market strategy. Prior to joining LATV, Andres held key sales and management positions at Azteca America, Telemundo, and CNBC Europe.
“With media consumption habits quickly changing across the board, Canela Media is disrupting the marketplace by focusing on the consumer and the future,” stated Rincon. “It’s an incredible opportunity to join the Canela team at this pivotal time of growth and I’m excited to be part of building a brand based on core values of innovation, excellence, and relevance to the U.S. Hispanic market.”
