TelevisaUnivision has announced that Daniel Alegre will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Alegre succeeds Wade Davis, who will transition to the role of Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and continue as a member of the Board's Executive Committee. The leadership change comes as part of the company's long-term succession plan.

A native of Mexico, Alegre brings over 30 years of experience in media, entertainment and technology, with a strong focus on the Hispanic market across the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America. Before joining TelevisaUnivision, Alegre was the CEO of Yuga Labs, a web3 company, and previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Activision Blizzard, overseeing international gaming studios. Alegre also spent 16 years at Google, where he held various executive roles, including President of Global and Strategic Partnerships and President of Asia Pacific and Latin America. He began his career in radio and music in Mexico and Central America.

TelevisaUnivision Executive Chairman Alfonso de Angoitia stated, "Daniel is the right leader at the right time to take the helm." He highlighted Alegre's extensive experience in technology, digital platforms, and entertainment as essential for the company's next phase of growth, particularly in light of the evolving media landscape.

Outgoing CEO Wade Davis reflected on his tenure, noting the successful merger of Univision with Televisa's content business in 2020, which positioned TelevisaUnivision as a leader in Spanish-language media. Under Davis's leadership, the company launched ViX, a global Spanish-language streaming service, and achieved above-market revenue growth. Davis expressed confidence in Alegre's ability to guide TelevisaUnivision into its next phase, emphasizing the strong foundation built by the team.

Alegre stated, "TelevisaUnivision is strategically poised to seize new opportunities while staying deeply connected to the communities we serve." He noted the growing significance of Spanish-language markets, particularly in the U.S. and Mexico, and pledged to build on the company's investments in content, technology, and reach.
