Univision Holdings, Inc., announced new appointments, and a redesign of its corporate leadership structure. Together with the existing leadership team, these executives will drive Univision’s next phase of transformation and execute the vision for the future combined company of Televisa-Univision following the close of the transaction, expected later this year.
“We have the right strategy, and following the closing of the Televisa-Univision merger, we will have the assets and market-leading position for this team to execute and capture the opportunity in front of us to be the largest and most compelling Spanish-language media company across all platforms,” said Univision CEO Wade Davis.
The transaction between Univision and Televisa, announced on April 13, is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals in the United States and Mexico.
The new appointments are effective immediately unless otherwise noted, and will continue after the transaction’s close.
Carlos Ferreiro will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer for Univision on October 1, 2021; he will continue with this position for the combined company following the closing of the Televisa-Univision transaction. Until that time, he will serve as an advisor to the senior leadership team, as it plans to integrate the two companies.
Pilar Ramos joins as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Univision and will assume the role of General Counsel for Televisa-Univision once the merger is completed and subject to the transaction closing.
José Tomás joins Univision as Chief Administrative Officer. This newly created role will oversee strategic support areas essential to continue transforming Univision and to create centers of excellence in the future combined company.
Flavia Vigio joins Univision as EVP of Communications. She will be responsible for all internal and external communications, publicity, and public relations for Univision.
Jessica Rodríguez has been promoted to Chief Brand and Impact Officer for Univision and for the combined Televisa-Univision company once the merger is completed, subject to the transaction closing.
Juan Carlos Rodríguez has been promoted to president of Sports Enterprises for Univision and, following the completion of the merger, the combined Televisa-Univision company.
“Today’s appointments build upon and strengthen our existing, incredible leadership team, which was responsible for successfully launching Univision’s transformation over the last six months,” added Davis.
