Discovery Networks has named Vera Buzanello as Executive Vice President (EVP) General Manager of Discovery Networks Iberia, responsible for Spain and Portugal. Having led the distribution side of the business in Iberia for a number of years previously, Buzanello is returning to a market where she remains extremely established within the industry.

My goal is to expand the business in both Spain and Portugal to offer Discovery’s innovative and high quality content to more viewers. I am fully committed to ensuring the Discovery brand becomes an even stronger force amongst viewers, institutions, partners and investors in Iberia’s TV market.”
