Luis Silberwasser, new president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports

After his time at Univision Television Networks Group, Luis Silberwasser will be president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports.

He will now lead the company's domestic sports portfolio and oversee its global sports strategy reporting to David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, with whom he previously worked.

“I have known Luis for many years and have great respect for how hard he works, how collaborative he approaches work, and his ability to build very successful global businesses and brands,” says Zaslav. “I am delighted to be working with him again and believe Luis's strong international business relationships, leadership track record and passion for delivering the best content and consumer experience make him the ideal leader to oversee the continued growth and expansion of our world-class sports business.”

To assume the new role, Silberwasser will leave his position as president of Univision Television Networks Group, where he oversaw the company's U.S. broadcast and cable networks that include entertainment, news and sports content divisions. The Spanish-language media company incorporated him in January 2021, before its content merger with Televisa.
