MIAMI: Telemundo Studios has promoted two executives within its management team, naming Perla Farias as senior VP of scripted development and Carmen Urbaneja as senior VP of scripted productions.

Farias previously served as VP of novela development at Telemundo. She will now be responsible for the overall development of scripted programming for Telemundo Studios, where she will supervise and manage the scripted development department and lead a team of writers and development executives.
