Javier Pons: “It is a privilege to be able to expand my role to oversee Telemundo’s award-winning entertainment division"
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises elevated Javier Pons to Chief Content Officer and Head of Telemundo Studios, reporting directly to Luis Fernández, Chairman of the Company.
In his new role, Pons, who joined Telemundo as EVP, Telemundo Studios last year, will expand his responsibilities to include oversight of the network’s entertainment division. In addition to leading the development and production of scripted content at Telemundo Studios, Pons will now lead the company’s entertainment division with a focus on developing and producing the network’s unscripted content, daily shows, and live specials.
“Since he arrived at Telemundo, Javier has delivered great results and strengthened Telemundo Studios’ position for the future. I’m excited to see him apply his vast experience in production and media management to his new expanded role as Chief Content Officer. He is an accomplished media executive, and I’m confident he will continue to excel in this expanded leadership role, as he brings his expertise and creativity to our entertainment division while continuing to oversee our Studios,” said Fernández.
Pons’s career spans over three decades of production and management experience across major media companies in the United States, Spain, France, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, among other countries. Before joining Telemundo, Pons served as the General Director of Globomedia and Head of TV at The Mediapro Studio.
“It is a privilege to be able to expand my role to oversee Telemundo’s award-winning entertainment division. I am grateful for the opportunity to join a team of professionals that have redefined Hispanic entertainment,” said Pons. “I look forward to working together across Studios and Entertainment to continue to develop and produce the most innovative, contemporary, and engaging content in Spanish-language media.”
