Gem Shopping Network CEO and leadership

At Gem Shopping Network, I have the privilege of leading a team of dedicated experts at the intersection of media and commerce. Since its founding in 1997, Gem Shopping Network’s guiding principles have been to educate and captivate viewers, using an extraordinary collection of elegant, one-of-a-kind pieces to create a uniquely immersive experience.

Prior to Gem Shopping, I served as head of Discovery’s U.S. Hispanic market and led a significant push to increase the company’s Hispanic business, introducing HGTV in Spanish, launching our brands across OTT platforms, and optimizing our programming for higher ratings and sales. Before Discovery, I led Scripps Network's Portfolio expansion throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, including Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, and DIY Network.

I’ve also managed a specialized investment and advisory firm focused on cross-market opportunities between Latin America and the U.S (Hauser & Co.), developed Soy TED, an experimental TV format based on TED Talks, launched AOL Latin America and created DailyMe, a first-of-its-kind personalized news system. I’ve published two patents in the field of personalization, and remain passionate about all things media, including how digital transformation and the evolution of media will continue to shape our modern world.
