As it prepares to mark its fifth anniversary in 2026, Nueva Network has announced the promotion of three senior executives, following a year of expansion across audio, digital, and video platforms.

Jim Lyke has been promoted to Executive Vice President of Sales Operations. A media executive with more than 25 years of experience, including over two decades in network sales, Lyke joined Nueva Network last year. In his new role, he will oversee network sales and manage day-to-day operations, with a focus on supporting the company's continued growth and integrated advertising solutions.

Grace Agostino has been elevated to Senior Vice President of Sales and Corporate Communications. While continuing to manage several of the network's priority accounts, Agostino will also serve as the company's primary industry spokesperson. Nueva Network reports that its audio network reaches 97% of U.S. Hispanics, supported by a growing portfolio of digital offerings including streaming audio, video, and content creation.

Ben Finley has been named Vice President of Business Development following what the company described as a record-setting year in 2025. Finley helped add multiple high-value clients, contributing to a network that now reaches 75 million monthly unique users. He will continue to lead client growth efforts while supporting broader business development initiatives across the organization.

"These promotions mark a pivotal moment as we enter our fifth year of operation," said Jose Villafane, founder and CEO of Nueva Network. He added that the expanded leadership team is positioned to guide the company's next phase as it builds on its digital platforms, podcast network, and video capabilities.
