Boasting a 30-year track record leading robust expansion at top companies, in his most recent role as CEO of TelevisaUnivision’s platform ViX, Gazzolo spearheaded its launch and fast growth, positioning it as the world’s largest Spanish-language streamer.
He has also served on the boards of international companies such as Sky Media, Seoul Broadcasting System and Rainbow SRL, contributing strategic insight into partnerships and international expansion.

“Furthermore, his experience in key global markets —such as the U.S. and Latin America— adds a valuable perspective to our ongoing expansion. We appreciate his trust and extend a warm welcome as he joins this project,” Berdonés added.
Gazzolo also played a key role in the digital transformation of ViacomCBS, where he founded its first international streaming division and positioned Paramount+ and Pluto TV as global players. He led both regional and global divisions, expanding the company’s international footprint and spearheading strategic acquisitions such as that of Argentinian free-to-air network Telefe and Brazilian YouTube comedy group Porta dos Fundos.
