Telemundo Establishes Global Studios Unit

NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises has set up Telemundo Global Studios, a new division that will be led by Marcos Santana.

The new division brings together the company’s domestic and international scripted production units under Santana’s leadership. He will now be responsible for Telemundo Studios, Telemundo International Studios, Telemundo International, as well as all of the company’s co-production partnerships. Prior to this role, Santana was president of Telemundo International and president of Telemundo International Studios. He joined NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises in 2007.

Luis Silberwasser will continue to serve as president of Telemundo Networks, with oversight for the U.S. networks Telemundo and Universo. Both Silberwasser and Santana will continue to report to Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal International Group and NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.

“Marcos brings decades of experience in content development, production and distribution,” said Conde. “In this broader role, he is uniquely positioned to propel and expand our content creation capabilities worldwide. We are fortunate to have both Marcos and Luis manage two of our fastest growing business units, as we continue to make Telemundo the undisputed leader in Hispanic media.”
