NBCU’s Cesar Conde

Conde, who joined NBCU as exec VP in 2013, has taken up the newly created role of chairman for NBCU International Group and NBCU Telemundo Enterprises.

His remit now includes oversight of NBCU’s Spanish-language services Telemundo Network, NBC Universo Cable Network, Telemundo International, Telemundo Local Stations, Telemundo Digital Media and Emerging Business and NBC Deportes.

The former Univision exec starts his new role October 12 and continues to report to Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal.

Uva, who was chairman of Hispanic Enterprises and content, is taking up an advisory role working on NBC Deportes’ relocation to NBC Sports Group’s broadcast facility in Stamford.

Burke said Conde’s “deep knowledge of the business and keen understanding of the changing marketplace make him the right leader to help build on its strong momentum.”

He added: “Two and a half years ago I asked Joe to take over our Hispanic initiatives and in that time, Joe’s leadership has helped to propel Telemundo’s record growth.

“A couple of months ago Joe and I began talking about his successor and we agreed that Cesar was the perfect choice.”
