Univision Communications Inc (UCI) announced today that Tonia O’Connor has decided to step down as Chief Revenue Officer of UCI.
Over the last 10 years, O’Connor played a key role in the Company’s expansion from three networks to 17 broadcast, cable, and digital networks, as well as developing UCI’s distribution and content windowing strategy for digital and mobile platforms.
UCI’s Board of Directors added: “For more than a decade, Tonia O’Connor has been a key figure in transforming Univision from a niche media asset into a major player in the U.S. media landscape. We greatly appreciate her leadership and the important role she played in driving the company’s growth, negotiating complex transactions and developing new revenue streams. We thank her and wish her well and continued success in her new endeavors.”
O’Connor led UCI’s efforts to expand the reach of its portfolio of brands and content availability by creating new consumer products and securing valuable shelf space with both traditional and emerging distributors, and social media platforms. She established UCI’s content licensing business and built Univision’s distribution revenue stream.
O’Connor added: “Univision is a uniquely positioned company, unlike any other brand. I am incredibly proud of helping transform Univision into a media powerhouse – with the most loyal audience and billions in enterprise value. I will always treasure my experience and colleagues from Univision, which I will carry with me as I take on new challenges and continue to make an impact.”
