On Friday, Conde was named NBCUniversal executive vice president in charge of international business.
Conde, a polished 39-year-old business executive, got his start in politics. He was a former White House fellow working with Secretary of State Colin Powell during President George W. Bush’s administration.
Now, Conde will report to NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke.
Conde spent 10 years at Univision, overseeing its networks business from the company’s west Miami complex.
At NBCUniversal, he will focus “on business development, strategic priorities and special business projects across the NBCUniversal portfolio of assets,” NBCUniversal said in a statement.
Kevin MacLellan, who became chairman of the international operations for NBCUniversal earlier this week, will report to Conde. MacLellan, who is based in London, was named to replace Jeff Shell, who has moved back to Los Angeles to take over Universal Pictures in a dramatic studio shake-up.
NBCUniversal carved out a new job for Conde.
“His experience leading multiple domestic and international businesses will be instrumental in maximizing all the opportunities to grow our portfolio,” Burke said in a prepared statement.
Conde, who was a holdover from the previous Univision management team, was based at Univision’s Miami network headquarters. He received his business degree from Harvard University and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
