“In the last few weeks, I have been focused on meeting with the leaders of Latam/USH to define WBD’s best leadership structure in the region. For this, we are grounding on the principles of agility, efficiency, and local relevance in a way that enables us to capture the growth and potential our market presents. It was not an easy task, since both organizations have excellent professionals with great experience, passion, and commitment” said Medin in an internal statement to the company.

“I want to take this opportunity to recognize and thank Carolina for the incredible work she has done over the years. Carolina greatly contributed to the success of its portfolio of Discovery, positioning these brands as leaders in their segments in the region and developing premium content for children, including the creation and leadership of Discovery Kids Media. Carolina will remain in the company for a transition period” reported Medin.
