GM, ESPN Deportes
If you’re looking for Garcia, you’ll likely find him poring over plans to best position the network’s marketing, ad sales and programming plans for the 2014 World Cup. Garcia oversees all areas of operations for ESPN Deportes, and aside from big live events, he’s overseen the debut of four news studios shows—“Redes,” “Raza Deportiva,” “A Los Golpes” and El Bar”—and the launch of a New York radio station that grew to reach over 80% of the Hispanic market via 40 affiliates across the nation. Garcia also played a vital role in the acquisition of more Mexican soccer across ESPN’s English platforms, in an effort to better serve the bilingual sports fan.
