Mariano Cesar will report directly to Fernando Medin, President of Warner Bros. Discovery for Latin America and US Hispanic, who announced the promotion today.
In his new position, Mariano Cesar will lead the general entertainment content development, production, acquisition and programming teams for Warner Bros.
