Fremantle\u2019s Coty Cagliolo, Dopamine\u2019s Fidela Navarro, The Mediapro Studio\u2019s Catalina Porto and BBC Studios\u2019 Karina Dolgiej joined Elizabeth Bowen-Tombari, editor of TV Latina<\/em>, at MIP Cancun today for the panel MIP Cancun Talk: Women at the Helm<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The conversation began with Bowen-Tombari asking about the experiences each executive had in getting to the positions they currently hold and the challenges during that process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very fortunate, but I do think there is a strong bias in getting to certain positions,\u201d said Cagliolo, director of production for Latin America at Fremantle. \u201cI can’t say that I personally experienced anything negative because I work in a company with a focus and vision on diversity and inclusion. But we do see what happens around us with other women and how difficult it is to break through that famous glass ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolgiej, VP of content sales for Latin America and U.S. Hispanic at BBC Studios, stated that she was fortunate not to have any problems at the BBC. \u201cIt is not something difficult for women to be in leadership positions in the company, but it is true that in other companies and countries, it is not the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I arrived in Mexico 22 years ago, the industry was predominantly male,\u201d said Navarro, CEO of Dopamine, who is also a journalist. \u201cThat\u2019s a reality, and it hasn’t been easy for us over the years, but I think there has been a lot of progress in a natural and organic way, but there is still a long way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds: \u201cI see it a lot in the independent production world [where it is more difficult]. International companies have a series of policies, including diversity, inclusion and gender policies that have helped accelerate the path in reaching [executive] positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porto, director of content for Colombia and Mexico at The Mediapro Studio, agrees that she has been fortunate to be able to reach a leadership position in the industry. \u201cI have never had [any obstacles] in my career, but we are in a very particular and important moment in time where we have to support each other. There is a lack of visibility for women in certain positions. When we are working on a production, and we are looking for a director or photographer, the first name that comes to mind is a man. It has to do with getting to know the women who are equipped for those roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being women in leadership positions, Bowen-Tombari commented that they must make sure to make their brands stand out in a competitive landscape. When asked if the executives feel a greater responsibility to do so as women and what initiatives they are employing to stand out, Cagliolo said, \u201cI think it\u2019s very difficult to generalize, but it depends on the degree of your intensity and responsibility. You always try to do your best. Sometimes as women, we have to show a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of representing her brand, the executive said that \u201cit is important to continue on this path that is not an easy one. It is important that we do all we can to support each other, including diversity initiatives and the way we organize our teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cagliolo added: \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve talked to a service provider, a client or a partner, I\u2019ve said that we need to think about having a more inclusive team across the board; they always said yes, let\u2019s explore this further.\u201d<\/p>\n

For BBC Studios\u2019 Dolgiej, \u201cThere must be a balance. It\u2019s not about saying, \u2018I need a woman here, and I\u2019m going to give her a spot on the team.\u2019 No, it has to do with being the right person for the job. Diversity and inclusion at the BBC are critical. They are part of our DNA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dopamine’s Navarro comments that greater female participation changes the perspective of productions \u201cbecause we all have a lot of common issues and ways of balancing personal and professional life. Standards, policies and processes are quickly evolving. No one cared before if you had a problem with sexual or workplace harassment. Now we have an obligation to meet international standards and to be read.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation then turned to the sensitivities that women have and the role they play in making decisions about any project. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if we are mothers, daughters or wives, we always have a sense of caring for something, whether it\u2019s a child, a parent, a production or a team. We always have a high level of detail,\u201d noted Porto of The Mediapro Studio.<\/p>\n

Bowen-Tombari asked about the projects these female executives are working on with the female perspective in mind. \u201cWe are doing several series,\u201d said Dopamine\u2019s Navarro. \u201cOne is Reina roja<\/em>, a thriller with a great story about a couple of journalists for Amazon in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRepresentation is important in all projects,\u201d Cagliolo said. \u201cWe released the latest episode of Toda la sangre<\/em>, a series based on a book by Bernardo Esquinca, and the development team did an impeccable job in making correct character representation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porto at The Mediapro Studio shared a particular experience he had with a production photographer. \u201cThe way a woman expresses a scene is totally different from the way a man does it, especially when we want to exalt the feminine aspect of a certain perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolgiej at BBC Studios highlighted Frida<\/em>, from the company\u2019s catalog, a documentary \u201cfrom a historical point of view. She was a different woman, she didn\u2019t fit the era in which she lived; she was ahead of her time. I think these are the kind of stories that continue to work within our industry, not only within Latin America but in Europe as well. It\u2019s incredible how these kinds of stories can travel globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
