Esperanza Garay, content producer and distributor and CEO of Mega Global Entertainment, has died after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
The Colombian executive was a recognised figure in the international content business and spent much of her career working in distribution in the Latin American market.<\/p>\n
She started in the industry in 1990 as a founding partner of Zebracom International, distributing film, video, free TV and pay TV content.<\/p>\n
She later joined NBCUniversal through Telemundo, where she served as senior VP of international sales and acquisitions, managing the Latin American business for almost 18 years.<\/p>\n
In 2018, she became head of Mega Global Entertainment, an international distributor linked to the Chilean holding company Mega and responsible for the global marketing of the group\u2019s content.<\/p>\n
During her time there she spearheaded the creation of MGE Originals in 2024, a division focused on developing audiovisual projects in collaboration with screenwriters and production companies in Latin America. That same year, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, a condition she made public in 2025.<\/p>\n
During Content Americas in Miami in January, the Worldwide Audiovisual Women\u2019s Association honoured her with a special tribute in its Woman of the Year ceremony, recognising her career and contributions to the industry.<\/p>\n
During the event, executive Cynthia Hudson reviewed her career and highlighted her leadership, while her son Andr\u00e9s accepted a commemorative plaque on her behalf.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
