Bond, who has also been tapped as an advisor to the company, will be responsible for spearheading strategic initiatives to help evolve how the entertainment industry develops and produces content with the use of AI tools.

AlgoVerde AI, which is led by founder and CEO Vladimir Jacimovic, describes itself as a “pioneering AI innovation platform that redefines market research and product development through its proprietary GenAI applications” and enables companies to “accelerate innovation, deliver measurable business results, and preserve human oversight and creativity.”

The move comes around 16 months after Bond left her post as SPT’s senior VP and MD of international production for Latin America and US Hispanic.

Before that, she was the senior VP of business and strategy at W Studios, the Spanish-language joint-venture between Univision Communications and producer Patricio Wills. She has also held roles at RTI Productions and Telemundo Network Group.

Since leaving SPT, Bond has been working as a strategic business consultant through her company Bond Entertainment, advising companies in the entertainment and creative industries. She also completed Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program in Digital Transformation as well as completing an AI course at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“The entertainment industry is at an inflection point where responsible AI can empower creators to tell more authentic, diverse, and compelling stories than ever before,” said Bond.

“What excites me most about joining AlgoVerde is its human-first approach to AI. We’re not replacing creativity; we’re equipping the creative community and media executives with powerful tools to amplify their vision, preserve the irreplaceable value of artistic expression, and maximize both productivity and on-screen investment.”

AlgoVerde.ai co-founder and chief marketing officer Elisabetta Ghisini added: “Media and entertainment represent a powerful opportunity for AlgoVerde’s AI innovation. We welcome Ana’s deep media industry expertise and unique perspective to help us tailor our GenAI apps to meet the specific needs of this industry.”
