Maynulet comes to Hemisphere with over 20 years of financial management and operational experience in media
Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. announced that Joe Ramos, president and general manager of WAPA TV, plans to retire in the first half of 2018. The Company has named Javier Maynulet as Ramos’ successor. Ramos will work closely with Maynulet to ensure a smooth transition.
“Joe is a world-class television executive who, over the last 20 years, has led WAPA’s rise as one of the leading broadcasters in the world. Under Joe’s leadership, WAPA moved from the #3 rated network in Puerto Rico to #1 in under two years. Over the past three months, Joe’s strong, yet calm guidance has provided a beacon of strength and stability to co-workers and numerous others in Puerto Rico following Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Because of Joe’s tireless work, WAPA never stopped broadcasting, providing Puerto Ricans on and off the Island critical and timely news and information. It has been a terrific honor to work with Joe and we wish him all the best in his next phase of life,” said Alan Sokol, president and Chief Executive Officer, Hemisphere.
“It has been a great honor and privilege to work and partner with the incredible team at WAPA, offering Puerto Ricans best in class news and entertainment. I am extremely proud of our achievements, including becoming the clear market leader in such a short period of time and then sustaining it for the past eight years. While Hurricanes Irma and Maria have challenged the people of Puerto Rico and our business, I have no doubt that we will overcome all obstacles, and both Puerto Rico and WAPA will emerge in even better shape than prior to the storms,” commented Ramos.
Maynulet comes to Hemisphere with over 20 years of financial management and operational experience in media, with a strong focus on Spanish-language television. He most recently served as SVP and Chief Financial Officer of Univision Networks, and from 2009 to 2014, Maynulet was the SVP and CFO of Telemundo Media.
“I am humbled and excited by the opportunity to lead WAPA, particularly during a time of profound challenge and unprecedented change in Puerto Rico,” said Maynulet.
