Ex-ViacomCBS Exec Pierluigi Gazzolo Appointed to Secuoya Content Group’s Board of Directors (EXCLUSIVE)

Pierluigi Gazzolo, a seasoned professional with extensive expertise in Latin America’s emerging Over-The-Top (OTT) industry, either at ViacomCBS or TelevisaUnivision’s ViX, has been chosen to serve on the board of directors for Secuoya Content Group, a prominent Spanish media company.

With a 30-year history of successful leadership driving expansion at prominent corporations, in his latest position as CEO of TelevisaUnivision’s platform ViX, Gazzolo played a key role in its launch and rapid growth, making it the world’s leading Spanish-language streaming service.

Apart from that, he’s been a member of various global corporations’ boards, including Sky Media, Seoul Broadcasting System, and Rainbow SRL. He’s provided valuable guidance on strategic alliances and global growth initiatives.

Raúl Berdonés, chairperson of Secuoya Content Group, stated that the selection of Pierluigi Gazzolo to join the board signifies a significant strategic landmark in our company’s period of worldwide growth and transformation.

Berdonés pointed out that his deep industry knowledge and strong leadership abilities will provide us with essential insights, making it easier for us to tackle difficulties and speed up the process of reaching our objectives.

Additionally, his expertise in significant international markets like the U.S. and Latin America brings a beneficial viewpoint to our continuous growth. We’re grateful for his commitment and offer a heartfelt greeting as he becomes part of this venture,” said Berdonés.

Gazzolo significantly contributed to the digital metamorphosis of ViacomCBS, establishing its initial global streaming division. Under his leadership, Paramount+ and Pluto TV emerged as international powerhouses. He managed both regional and worldwide divisions, broadening the company’s international presence through strategic purchases like that of Argentinian free-to-air network Telefe and Brazilian comedy group Porta dos Fundos on YouTube.

In his early days, the executive kicked off his professional journey at MTV Networks Latin America, swiftly climbing up the ranks into prominent leadership roles. With Gazzolo’s recent induction as a board member, Secuoya Content Group underscores its dedication to maintaining top-notch corporate governance and a forward-thinking strategy centered on long-term growth and global expansion, as stated in a press release on Tuesday.

This company boasts over 2,000 full-time employees and spans operations through four significant regions: the United States, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. Furthermore, Secuoya serves as the host for Netflix’s inaugural European Production Hub situated at Madrid Content City in Tres Cantos. It is from here that Netflix drives a large portion of its technological innovations across Europe.

Through its subsidiary Secuoya Studios, known for reviving the “Zorro” television series, the company is now setting its sights on creating and producing substantial English-language projects as part of a fresh global growth plan.
