Luis Silberwasser President Telemundo
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises announced that Luis Silberwasser will leave the position of president of Telemundo Network, which he held for four years. He will stay through October 1 to help with the transition.
“Luis helped propel our rise as the definitive media and entertainment brand for today’s Hispanic consumer. He has made an indelible mark on our company at a time of great transformation. On behalf of everyone at Telemundo, I want to thank him for his dedication, partnership and invaluable contributions,” commented César Conde, Chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and NBCUniversal International Group.
The executive will continue in the industry with projects related to content. During his tenure at Telemundo, Silberwasser assisted in the programming strategy and positioning of the network and opted for new genres and formats.
“I’m extremely proud of what we have accomplished at Telemundo and the important role of this organization in serving the Latino community across America. Today, Telemundo is the clear leader, not only in viewership, but as the network that will take content risks and breaks stereotypes. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with the best team in the industry and to have been a part of Telemundo’s groundbreaking success. As I now embark on new content-making ventures, I will always look forward to seeing the Telemundo brand continue its tremendous growth,” said Silberwasser.
In a letter sent to his staff, Silberwasser pointed out that running Telemundo has been the most gratifying and intense challenge of his career and that in these four years they managed to launch a new and consistent programming strategy to redefine television in Spanish, which allowed them to become the #1 prime-time network during last season for the first time in history, and they currently continue in first place.
