Prior to SWS Consulting, Mr. Saldívar worked at two of the most successful global media, information and entertainment companies. He served as General Manager at Televisa Interactive Media, part of Grupo Televisa, the largest Hispanic media company in the world, where he was responsible for the strategy, operations and overall entertainment, information and sports digital presence for the company. He also worked in business development at the Bertelsmann Group, one of the world’s largest media conglomerates headquartered in Germany, where he later became CEO of the company’s Mexican publishing house.
