NUEVA YORK, 19 de enero del 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA y VIA.B) anunció hoy el nombramiento de Robert Bakish para el recientemente creado cargo de Presidente y CEO de Viacom International Media Networks.  El señor Bakish anteriormente se desempeñó como Presidente de MTV Networks International.  En su nuevo cargo, supervisará las propiedades de Redes de Medios de Viacom que operan fuera de EE.UU., incluido MTV Networks International, así como los canales internacionales de BET Networks y las redes marca Paramount no premium.  El señor Bakish también seguirá desempeñándose como Presidente del Directorio de Viacom 18, la empresa de riesgo compartido que la Compañía tiene en India, y como un miembro de los directorios de las empresas de riesgo compartido de Viacom con BSkyB y Telecom Italia Media.

Operando con sede en Nueva York, el señor Bakish rendirá cuentas directamente al Presidente y CEO de Viacom, Philippe Dauman. Seguirá trabajando en estrecha colaboración con la Presidenta del Directorio y CEO de MTV Networks, Judy McGrath, así como con la Presidenta del Directorio y CEO de BET Networks, Debra Lee, y el Presidente del Directorio y CEO de Paramount Pictures, Brad Grey.

Viacom International Media Networks abarca 145 canales de televisión en 160 países y territorios, así como empresas de productos de consumo y propiedades digitales relacionadas.  Sus marcas de entretenimiento premium -MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, VIVA, TMF (The Music Factory) y Game One- son vistas por cerca de 650 millones de familias.

El señor Dauman expresó: "El desarrollo de nuestro negocio internacional es una importante prioridad y Bob es la elección ideal para dirigir el cargo global para las redes de medios de Viacom.  Durante los 14 años que ha estado en la compañía, ha demostrado ser un estratega sobresaliente y un gerente de operaciones altamente capaz.  Bob se ha desempeñado en numerosos cargos de liderazgo en nuestra compañía, más recientemente como Presidente de MTV Networks International, donde junto con su equipo revitalizó nuestra producción creativa y mejoró nuestro rendimiento financiero. Su abundante experiencia a través de regiones geográficas y su entendimiento de las complejidades de los mercados globales serán de utilidad para nosotros ahora que buscamos nuevas oportunidades de expansión."

"La creación de este nuevo cargo es reflejo de la ya significativa huella que tienen nuestras marcas de televisión en todo el mundo, que incluyen a MTV, Nickelodeon, BET y Comedy Central, y la creciente importancia de seguir desarrollando esa presencia a través de todas nuestras propiedades", añadió el señor Dauman.  "También pretendemos ampliar aún más los canales de televisión temáticos de Paramount, aprovechando la sensibilidad en torno a la marca Paramount Pictures y la popularidad de las películas en su vasta biblioteca. Todo esto se cimenta en la creciente fortaleza de nuestras empresas y marcas nacionales, que seguirán alimentando e impulsando nuestras ambiciones internacionales".

El señor Bakish ha trabajado para Viacom en una serie de cargos desde que llegó a la compañía en 1997.  Antes de ser Presidente de MTV Networks International, el señor Bakish era Vicepresidente Ejecutivo de Operaciones y Viacom Enterprises de Viacom.  En su cargo, era responsable de la planificación estratégica, el desarrollo de negocios y otras iniciativas corporativas. Anteriormente, fue Vicepresidente Ejecutivo y CEO de MTV Networks Advertising Sales y, antes de eso, fue Vicepresidente Senior de Planificación, Desarrollo y Tecnología para Viacom, donde trabajó en nuevas oportunidades de negocios y supervisando la cartera de satélites globales de Viacom y su Centro de Operaciones de Red en EE.UU.  Antes de incorporarse a Viacom, el señor Bakish fue asociado en Booz Allen & Hamilton en su práctica de Medios y Entretenimiento.

El señor Bakish se desempeña en el Directorio de Avid Technology Inc., una compañía listada en NASDAQ.  Obtuvo un M.B.A. de la Columbia University School of Business en 1989 y un B.S. en Investigación de Operaciones de la School of Engineering and Applied Science de Columbia en 1985.
