Telemundo is beefing up its content development ranks, naming Monica Albuquerque as senior VP of content and development for Telemundo Studios.
Albuquerque will lead content development for Telemundo’s linear TV networks and streaming platforms, and will report to Javier Pons, executive VP of Telemundo Studios.
She joins NBCUniversal’s Spanish-language media division from Warner Bros. Discovery, where she was head of scripted content for Warner Bros. Discovery Latin America.
“Monica is an outstanding media executive with a remarkable ability to identify and develop compelling content. Her vast experience in Spanish-language media, combined with her artistic vision and strategic insight, makes her the perfect fit to elevate Telemundo Studios’ offerings,” said Pons. “She has delivered exceptional results at every step of her career, and we are excited to have her lead the next phase of our growth, continuing to develop premium programming for Latino audiences in the US and around the world.”
“I’m honored to join the talented team at Telemundo Studios in this exciting new role,” added Albuquerque. “Telemundo has long been at the forefront of groundbreaking content, pushing boundaries with bold, innovative programming. I look forward to contributing to that legacy, strengthening our connection with existing audiences, and fostering new generations of Telemundo superfans.”
