Harvey Grisalez, an executive with more than 20 years’ experience at companies such as Fox Television Studios, Shine Group and DIRECTV Latin America has taken on the role of senior VP of Onza Américas.

Grisalez replaces Vincenzo Gratteri, who has left Onza to take on the role of senior VP of development for Univision’s OTT platform.

Onza Américas, which launched in early 2021, is currently producing a podcast for a global audio platform and is in development on several series and films.

Onza was founded in 2014 by José María Irisarri, Gonzalo Sagardía and Nicolás Bergareche and is known in Spain for dramas such as TVE’s Little Coincidences and Amazon Prime’s Department of Time.

Gonzalo Sagardía, CEO of Onza, said Gratteri had made a “vital contribution” to the future of Onza Américas during its first year at a challenging time due to the pandemic.
