Borja Prado will leave the presidency of Mediaset Spain

MADRID, 5 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Mediaset España, Borja Prado, will leave his position soon a year and a half after his appointment, according to 'El Economista' and sources close to the group have confirmed to Europa Press.

The businessman was elected president of Mediaset by the Board of Directors on April 20, 2022 after the departure of Alejandro Echevarría, who held the Presidency of the group for 26 years, coinciding with the expiration of his mandate.

In November of last year, Mediaset announced in a statement to the CNMV that Prado would assume "the tasks of supporting and collaborating with the editorial line of the news programs." After the month of June, he was left solely with institutional responsibilities, while the CEO, Alessandro Salem, was in charge of executive power.

When he was elected president of Mediaset España, Prado became, after Echevarría, the longest serving Spanish director of Mediaset España after 17 years as a member of the company's Board of Directors, 12 years as an independent director and, since 2018, as a proprietary director. .

Prado left the presidency of Endesa in 2019 and had previously served as the first sword of Mediobanca in Spain, after being vice president of Lazard Asesores Financieros, director of Rothschild Spain, vice president of UBS in Spain and president of Almagro Asesoramiento e Inversiones, among other positions.
