For more than 13 years, he was a Univision Interactive Media leader, exiting in February 2014 as a Director of Programming for a role at rival NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, first as Digital Sports Director.
Now, this Executive VP of Sports is adding duties as Head of Streaming for all of Telemundo’s digital video delivery needs.
As such, Joaquin Duro will not only oversee Telemundo Deportes, but he’ll also now have oversight of Telemundo’s entire streaming portfolio including YouTube, FAST, Peacock, and Telemundo’s own app.
Duro continues to report to Luis Fernandez, Chairman, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. He will work closely with Telemundo’s content units as well as NBCUniversal’s streaming and Peacock leadership “to develop and execute the company’s streaming business strategy across studios, entertainment, news and sports.”
Duro has led Telemundo Deportes since September 2024, where he oversees sports production, programming, acquisitions, operations, and multiplatform content. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to lead two key growth engines at Telemundo,” he said. “Latinos are super streamers and love live content, especially sports. With NBCUniversal’s support, our incredible content pipeline – including the largest sporting event in the world – and our great team of professionals at Telemundo, we are extraordinarily well positioned to serve our audience with the best world-class sports content in Spanish, while growing our multiplatform streaming business across entertainment, news and sports.”
On the streaming front, Duro succeeds Romina Rosado, who “recently decided to transition into pursuing other opportunities,” NBCU Telemundo Enterprises said.
Prior to his role as head of sports, Duro was Senior Vice President of AVOD Streaming and Digital for NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.
