Spain’s Grup Mediapro Promotes Laura Fernandez Espeso to General Manager, Streamlines Operations


Barcelona-based Grup Mediapro has reshuffled its biz structure, launching two new business units and upping long-serving execs within the group.

Fernández Espeso replaces Juan Ruíz de Gauna who has had a stellar career occupying senior management positions from an early age at key companies re-shaping Spain’s modern media landscape as ongoing deregulation kicked in, at Antena 3 TV, Prisa’s Sogetel, Sogepaq and IDEA, then Via Digital, Telefonica and from 2002 at Mediapro and its commercial broadcaster La Sexta. The restructure coincides with the group’s 30th anniversary as it seeks to become a nimbler and decentralized organization where different departments and divisions have significant autonomy and decision-making authority, promoting greater agility and horizontal collaboration, Grup Mediapro said in a written statement. In 2013, he directed the creation of Mediapro Exhibitions, overseeing projects like Cosmocaixa’s Sala Univers, the Real Madrid Immersive Tour, and the Mirador Torre Glòries in Barcelona.
