Peter Blacker de Telemundo
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises announced the realignment of several of its divisions designed to fuel growth in a rapidly changing media market driven by Latinos’ demand for culturally relevant storytelling across linear, digital and mobile formats.
The new structure will maximize Telemundo’s content across all its platforms and strengthen collaboration between the company’s award-winning creators and the revenue and distribution team.
Effective immediately, the realignment of functions includes the following:
Ronald Day is elevated to president of Entertainment and Content Strategy, continuing to report to Beau Ferrari, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. In addition, Romina Rosado is promoted to EVP, Entertainment and Content Strategy reporting to Day.
Both executives have led the company’s omnichannel strategy resulting in significant growth across linear and non-linear platforms.
With a focus on entertainment and in collaboration with Telemundo Global Studios, Network News and Sports, the division will ensure content is made available on all Telemundo platforms including Universo and Peacock, as well as other direct-to-consumer outlets, under a centralized and coordinated strategy. This division will develop a data-driven content strategy that is tailored to audience preferences and fits each of Telemundo’s platforms across the portfolio.
A newly-redesigned Revenue Strategy and Distribution unit will be led by Peter Blacker in a broader role as EVP, Chief Commercial Officer, Head of DTC Licensing, continuing to report to Ferrari.
In his new role, he will focus exclusively on the commercialization, monetization, and distribution of Telemundo content including direct-to-consumer and emerging platforms. Blacker will be responsible for partnering with Telemundo’s creative engines (Global Studios, Entertainment, Sports, and News), as well as with the NBCU Distribution & Licensing and Peacock teams, to develop monetization opportunities in the U.S. and globally.
Telemundo Global Studios, led by its President Marcos Santana, will continue to oversee the long and short-form content creation for all platforms including direct-to-consumer and emerging formats.
The current executive leadership team continues to report to Ferrari including Amanda Calpin, Chief Financial Officer; Luis Fernández, President, Network News; Mónica Gil, Chief Administrative and Marketing Officer; Ashaki Rucker, SVP, Human Resources; Marcos Santana, President, Telemundo Global Studios; Ana Salas Siegel, EVP, General Counsel; Ray Warren, president, Telemundo Deportes.
