In 2000, he and his wife Elena moved to the border city of Tijuana, where he was appointed Marketing Manager for Televisa Tijuana. Subsequently, he was given his first C-level job back in Mexico City, commissioned to develop a brand new business unit within Televisa to deploy the company’s digital properties throughout the 25+ local TV stations nationwide.
Having accomplished this task by 2010, Jerry was entrusted with a yet bigger and more important endeavor in Grupo Televisa, as CEO at Televisa Puebla, responsible for conducting the overall business for the company’s local TV stations and network channels in three states in Central and South East Mexico.
