César Conde, Chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, announced the appointment of Luis Fernández, an innovative leader in news, sports and entertainment media, to be Chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.
Fernández returns to Telemundo following a distinguished career in Spanish-language media as a broadcast executive and award-winning journalist who has overseen the development of highly successful programming across broadcast, digital and other platforms.
He succeeds Beau Ferrari, who has served as Chairman the past three years and will transition to be senior advisor to the Chairman of the News Group and NBCUniversal for strategic growth opportunities.
Fernández, who will report to Conde, previously served as president of Noticias Telemundo, the news division of Telemundo. He has spent decades as a leader in journalism, entertainment, sports and media.
“Throughout his extraordinary career, Luis has time and again shown visionary leadership, building and growing the most successful Spanish language media organizations in the United States and overseas,” Conde said. “At this moment in Telemundo’s storied history, we are so fortunate to have someone of Luis’s experience and stature to rejoin our team and excited about what the future holds for Telemundo and its audiences under his leadership.”
Fernández said he was honored to be returning to Telemundo at such an exciting time for the company and its audiences. “As our communities are increasingly playing a greater role in American culture, politics, sports and commerce, this is our time to meet the moment,” he said.
Conde said he looked forward to continuing to work with Ferrari. His tenure as Chairman has positioned the company well for the future.
“Under Beau’s successful leadership, Telemundo has remained a highly influential voice to Spanish-speaking audiences throughout the nation,” Mr. Conde said. “He has led Telemundo during a transformative time. He and the team delivered innovative content across all platforms and record financial results. I look forward to continuing to work closely with him in his new role.”
