Marcelo Gaete has been appointed Chief Government Affairs Officer, after previously serving as Executive Vice President of Public and Government Relations.
CEO Michael Christenson said, “I am excited to welcome Juan to his new role as our Chief Revenue Officer. He is a proven leader with a commitment to local television, radio and digital media and a track record of building performance-focused sales teams across all of Entravision’s markets. Marcelo’s expertise in the political landscape will be vital for us as we capitalize on opportunities in government and political advertising revenue during election years as well as off-cycle years. Larry has been a trusted advisor since I joined Entravision, and his deep industry insights and strategic vision will be instrumental as we navigate the evolving media landscape. I also want to thank Karl for his dedication and service to the company, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
