Entravision Taps Christenson As CEO
• Entravision announced that Michael Christenson has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1. The CEO position was previously held by former Entravision Chairman & CEO Walter F. Ulloa, who passed away from a heart attack on Dec. 31, 2022 at the age of 74.
“We are excited to welcome Mike as Entravision’s next CEO,” said Paul A. Zevnik, Chair of Entravision’s Board of Directors. “Mike is a proven executive with operational and financial expertise and a track record of driving growth through operational execution and strategic acquisitions. We are confident that his skills and experience will help us unlock opportunities to expand our digital, television and audio segments, enhance our offerings and strengthen our competitive position in international markets. We are pleased that Mike will be joining our team to continue the mission that Walter Ulloa pursued in building the Company over many years and with the same core values that Walter instilled in the people of Entravision.”
Christenson joins Entravision with more than four decades of experience — he previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer of two public software companies, New Relic and CA Technologies, and as an investment banker with Allen & Company and Salomon Brothers. He has also served on the board of a number of high-growth public and private technology companies.
“I am honored to join the team at Entravision,” said Christenson. “Entravision is an industry leader with a unique value proposition and an impressive suite of digital marketing services across its global footprint. As a leading global advertising solutions, media and technology company, Entravision is well positioned for continued growth and I look forward to leveraging my expertise and working together with the talented team to reach even greater heights.” [Photo from LinkedIn]
