Univision Holdings Inc. and Mexican media giant Televisa are poised to complete their merger later this year, and with that comes some changes on the corporate leadership front.
Univision News president
Daniel Coronell is stepping down from his role leading the news division, effective August 1, and he’ll be replaced by former Televisa News chief Leopoldo Gomez.
Coronell first joined the Univision News team in early 2011 as vp and news director and occupied other senior positions until he was promoted to President of News in 2016. Each year, under Coronell’s leadership, Univision Noticias has been No. 1 in Spanish language news and earned an array of awards – with 18 Emmys, 4 Rey de España awards and 3 Peabodys.
