Conroy will be based in New York and report directly to chief executive officer Joe Uva.
 
Uva, commented, “We are thrilled to have attracted an executive of Kevin’s caliber to lead our newly renamed Univision Interactive Media division.  The name change reflects our broadened digital media activities and the success we have gained in our three screen strategy – reaching Hispanic Americans not only via television, but also via online and mobile platforms.  This initial success will only be bolstered by the leadership of one of the most accomplished executives in the consumer Internet and digital media space.  Kevin’s impressive track record of spearheading many evolutional businesses at AOL and deep industry contacts make him the ideal executive to oversee Univision Interactive Media’s growth and development.”
 
Conroy said, “I am thoroughly impressed by the popularity and success of Univision’s digital media platforms and am excited by the tremendous potential still to be realized at Univision Interactive Media as Hispanics, who are early technology adopters, continue to embrace new technologies.  I look forward to working closely with Univision’s management team and the executives across the Company’s television and radio businesses to identify new opportunities to leverage content and talent in interactive applications and further enhance our users’ experiences, while solidifying Univision’s place as the provider of choice for the best interactive information, entertainment and digital applications.”
