Joe Uva takes over at Univision - Hands-on approach said to contrast with predecessor

There is a new, more open dynamic at work at Hispanic powerhouse Univision — and the change can in large part be attributed to the tone set by CEO Joe Uva.

While no one would ever describe Uva as an over-the-top personality, his hands-on approach and openness with his employees, the media and Wall Street are the opposite of the bunker mentality imposed by his predecessor, Jerry Perenchio.

While Perenchio ran Univision from his Los Angeles office — a continent away from the network’s sales and marketing operation — and was a courtside regular at Lakers games, Uva is based in New York, where he works right alongside the sales staff, participating in pitches and even spending much of his downtime interacting with clients.”*
