Univision’s board of directors is ready for a taste of salsa. Cuba-born Gloria Estefan has just been named to Univision Communication Inc.’s newly configured board of directors.
Joining the Latin crossover sensation is Henry Cisneros, former mayor of San Antonio and former president and COO of the network.
Looking at the rest of the list, comprised by CEO Joe Uva and representatives from each one of the private-equity firms involved in the buyout, I cannot help but wonder: what exactly do Estefan and Cisneros bring to the table? Perhaps, as my friend says, it’s more the desire to pick a high profile Cuban-American and Mexican-American for the board. ¿Será?
