Previously, he served as president of Univision's networks division, overseeing Univision Network, TeleFutura, Galavisión, Univision Studios and TuTv Networks.[1]

Career

Conde joined NBCUniversal in October 2013 as an executive vice president.[2] In 2015 he was named Chairman, NBCUniversal International Group and NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.[3] As Chairman, Conde is responsible for the operations and international expansion of NBCUniversal businesses outside of North America. The group comprises the NBCUniversal International TV and Film group, NBCUniversal International Networks and NBCUniversal International Production divisions. Conde also oversees NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, a premier and fast-growing portfolio of media properties serving Hispanics in the U.S. It includes the Telemundo Network, Universo Cable Network, Telemundo International, Telemundo Local Stations, Telemundo Digital Enterprises and Telemundo Deportes. During his time there Conde implemented a digital strategy to reach consumers through streaming services, social media, virtual reality and programming partnerships with BuzzFeed[4], Snapchat, Mashable, Tastemade[5] and iHeartMedia.


Under Conde’s leadership, Telemundo hit a milestone in 2016, surpassing Univision for the first time ever[6], and moving past FOX to become the nation's 4th most-watched network among adults 18-49 in primetime. A large part of this growth came from the SuperSeries™ format that was developed during Conde’s tenure[7]. This format, which was championed by Conde and aimed to evolve the traditional telenovela, has also helped to redefine Hispanic media[8]. In 2018, Conde inaugurated the new global headquarters Telemundo Center, which he drove forward from the project’s conceptual stage[9] all the way to fruition. The company invested $250 million to build the facility, which sits on 21 acres and has 15 studios, including two digital studios, as well as virtual and augmented-reality sets.[10] Conde also oversaw the production of over 1000 hours of content for the network’s first-ever Spanish-language broadcast of the FIFA World Cup[11]. Telemundo holds these rights through the year 2026.


Prior to this, Conde was at Univision for ten years, serving as president for five years. During this time he held a number of senior positions including Special Assistant to the CEO; interim president of Univision Interactive Media; vice president and operating manager of the Galavisión Network (where he was responsible for all of its functions, including programming, promotions, operations, talent relations and original productions); vice president of Corporate Development for the Univision Networks; and vice president of Sales and Business Development at the Univision Network. He has served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of Univision Communications Inc. then became the President of Univision Networks in October 2009.

Prior to this, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as one of twelve 2002-2003 White House Fellows.[12] In that capacity, he served as the White House Fellow for then Secretary of State Colin L. Powell.

Conde was vice president of business development at Univision Networks before becoming a White House Fellow. Before that, he was vice president of Business Development at StarMedia Network, the first Internet company focused on Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences globally. His career began in investment banking at Salomon Smith Barney in their Mergers and Acquisitions Group.

Conde holds a B.A. with honors from Harvard University and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Early life

Cesar Conde was born in New York, NY and grew up in Miami, FL. His father, Cesar A. Conde, is an immigrant from Peru and his mother, Maria Conde, is a Cuban exile. He is the oldest of three brothers; his two brothers are Jorge Conde, currently a Senior Partner for Andreessen Horowitz[13] and Enrique Conde, a partner at law firm Greenberg Traurig[14].

Conde married Univision News Anchor Pamela Silva Conde in 2009. [15]

Education initiatives

Conde is very active in the development of educational opportunities for the Hispanic community.

In 2018, Conde announced the start of Telemundo Academy[16], an academic program designed to educate the media industry’s next generation of leaders. As part of the program, Telemundo provides participating students with the opportunity to learn from industry-leading executives and get hands on experience developing promotional digital campaigns. The first partnership under the program was established with Doral Academy and the SLAM Charter School in Miami, FL.

In 2005 he co-founded the Futuro Program, a non-profit organization that provides role models and educational workshops to Hispanic high school students.

In 2009, Conde spearheaded the launch of Univision's "Es el Momento" (The moment is now) campaign a comprehensive effort focused on informing the Hispanic community of the importance of education. The campaign has received support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation among other sponsors and in March 2011, shortly after launching its second phase, a Town Hall event with President Barack Obama[17] was organized and broadcast to over 2.7 million viewers[18] around the country. The Futuro program has become a part of the Es el momento campaign. On May 2011, President Barack Obama announced the appointment of Conde as a member of the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics[19] and on September 2012, Conde was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Excellence in Education[20]


Community initiatives

During his time at Univision, Conde has led the company to enter into several partnerships that drove national community initiatives and empowerment campaigns. One of these campaign is “Ya es hora”, a historic non-partisan Latino civic participation campaign launched in several phases which encouraged eligible Hispanics to become US Citizens,register to vote and exercise their right to vote.

With the goal of improving the quality of life of disabled children, Conde spearheaded the development of Univision's first ever Teletón USA event, a 28-hour coast-to-coast televised fundraising event that exceeded expectations by raising over 15 million dollars. All proceeds go to help families in the U.S. and toward the construction of the first “Centro de Rehabilitación Infantil Teletón” (CRIT) which will be based in San Antonio, Texas.

At Telemundo, Conde was the driving force behind the launch of "El Poder En Ti,"[21] a community platform focusing on three areas of importance to U.S. Hispanics: education (Tú Educación), health (Tú Salud), and finance (Tú Dinero).
