de Quesada – Sr. VP & Assistant GM @ Fox Sports International.

Raul de Quesada has been named Senior Vice President and Assistant General Manager for Fox Sports International, where he will assume a greater role in the day-to-day management of Fox Sports en Espanol, while continuing with his present responsibilities for Fox Sports World and Fox Sports Latin America. De Quesada, who had previously been Vice President, continues to report to David Sternberg, Executive Vice President of Emerging Networks for Fox Cable Networks and General Manager for Fox Sports en Espanol, Fox Sports World, Fuel and other Fox-branded international services. DeQuesada, a native Cuban raised in the United States, is also one of the highest ranking Latino executives within the Fox Entertainment Group family of companies.

‘It’s crucial for any U.S. network to be entirely relevant to its audience, and achieve that relevance on the extremely demanding terms that its audience dictates,” said Sternberg. “Raul’s unique insight and expertise is all the more applicable to our domestic networks, and his background, experience and relationships are crucial to the success of all of these businesses.”

De Quesada joined Fox Sports Latin America in 1998 as Director of Marketing and Communications, and within a year was promoted to Vice President. He added the role of Assistant General Manager for Fox Sports International in 2000, and by 2001, had also added responsibility for all on-air promotions and marketing for Fox Sports World and Fox Sports en Espanol. The three networks within his charge – Fox Sports En Espanol and Fox Sports World in the United States, and Fox Sports Latin America throughout the southern hemisphere – reach a combined 37 million cable or satellite homes.

Among his other accomplishment, De Quesada last year oversaw the development and launch of the first-ever Pan-American sports awards and showcase for major Hispanic and Latino athletes, Premios Fox Sports. Before joining Fox Sports International, De Quesada worked with Travel Channel Latin America out of its Miami offices. De Quesada was graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences for Florida International University and lives in Los Angel
