In collaboration with the organization's senior management, she is responsible for identifying opportunities for mun2 that will drive ratings, digital traffic and align the organization for future growth. She reports to Jacqueline Hernández, chief operating officer, Telemundo Communications Group.

Mogollón joined mun2 from Telemundo, where she served as vice president, Programming & Marketing for the Telemundo Network West Coast office. In this role, she was the primary Telemundo network executive in Los Angeles collaborating with the network's owned-and-operated station, KVEA, and all of its top departments (sales, promotions, news, community affairs) in maximizing Telemundo's reach and effectiveness in the number one Hispanic market in the U.S. She was instrumental in working across the organization in developing innovative marketing platforms that reach and speak to the network's viewers including the annual music series "Descarga." Mogollon also worked closely with programming and productions in support of all of the company's West Coast productions including "12 Corazones" and "El Grito."

Prior to joining Telemundo, Mogollón served as vice president for Galán Entertainment and was responsible for supervising all aspects of the company's wide-range of production, development, sales, and marketing activities encompassing both the domestic and international Latino markets. In this position, she was responsible for bringing in the company's many productions to U.S. broadcast television (Los Beltran, Viva Vegas, Padre Alberto, The Swan) as well as developing countless movies, series, and reality shows for broadcast and cable networks such as MTV, UPN, HBO, Lifetime, NBC, and Fox.

As Chief Executive Officer, Michael Schwimmer oversees the burgeoning Sí TV cable network, the first English-language, Latino-themed network in the country. Schwimmer brings deep industry and cultural expertise to the network, which is dedicated to delivering compelling entertainment in a relevant and authentic voice for bi-cultural Latino viewers. He is currently overseeing a re-branding of the network, which will re-launch as nuvoTV on July 4, 2011.

Michael's passion for diversity in media, and the Latino community in particular, can be traced all the way back to his school days in Southern California, where kids from every ethnic and racial background came together in a usually harmonious but sometimes volatile environment.

After teaching himself to speak fluent Spanish by the age of 15, Michael later received his B.A. in Spanish and lived in Spain as a student. Focusing his attention on Latin America after graduating law school, a turn of events led him to Brazil, where he picked up Portuguese and practiced international law from 1988 to 1992. Schwimmer joined EchoStar Communications' nascent DBS satellite business (Dish Network) in 1996. As Executive Vice President of Programming and Marketing, Schwimmer oversaw all marketing initiatives, acquisition and packaging of traditional subscription and pay-per-view video programming, as well as video on demand, advanced interactive TV services, television advertising sales and international programming.

Schwimmer conceived and engineered the launch of the "Dish Latino" programming platform in 1998. Revolutionary at the time, this programming package addressed the underserved Spanish language-dominant Latino audience. Outside the Hispanic arena, Schwimmer also oversaw the importation and U.S. launch of over 100 foreign language television channels from countries around the world for delivery to America's immigrant populations.

In 2003, Schwimmer joined Sí TV's board of directors. He later took the helm of Sí TV in September 2005. Schwimmer believed that - despite meaningful progress having been made towards providing Spanish-dominant Hispanics with more choices in television programming - the very large and growing segment of young Latinos who consume their media in English was being virtually ignored by both the media and advertising community.

Schwimmer raises two bi-cultural and bilingual children with his Brazilian wife of more than 18 years.
