Emilio Rubio to Depart HBO Latin America

Emilio Rubio, CEO of HBO Latin America, will be leaving the company effective February 28, 2021.

Rubio will continue with the company in an advisory role for a limited time thereafter.

Gerhard Zeiler, head of WarnerMedia International, said: “With over two decades of loyal and committed service to HBO Latin America and WarnerMedia, it is hard to do justice to Emilio’s important contributions. He has been a trailblazer in the media industry across the region, taking risks, innovating and investing in new technologies and original productions. We wouldn’t be in such a strong position without his strategic vision and focus on teamwork and excellence. Thank you for everything, Emilio, and best wishes for your future.”

Rubio added: “It is time for me to go. It has been a privilege to be associated with some of the industry’s most iconic brands and professionals for all these years. It has been an amazing journey bringing our exceptional content to Latin America powered by digital platforms. I am particularly proud of how we have been able to raise the profile of the brand and original productions. I would like to express my gratitude to the team, the board of directors of HBO Latin America and wish all the success to WarnerMedia in its future endeavors.”
