A longtime NBC veteran and former CEO of AOL, Falco is the CEO of Univision.

Falco was long assumed to be an NBC lifer: He spent nearly three decades at the company following his graduation from Iona College in 1975. He rose up through the finance and strategic planning departments before serving as VP of finance and administration for NBC Sports beginning in 1986, distinguishing himself with his work coordinating NBC's Olympic coverage. He was later appointed president of NBC's broadcast and network operations division and by the end of the 1990s, he'd taken over as group president of the NBC Television Network. In 2004, just as NBC was tumbling from first to last place in the ratings game, Falco was named president of the NBC Universal Television Group, a position that put him just under Jeff Zuckerr. When it became increasingly obvious that Zucker would succeed Bob Wright as CEO of NBC Universal, Falco accepted an offer from Time Warner's Jeff Bewkes to replace Jonathan Miller in the top job at AOL. Falco's tenure at the company was rocky at best, with AOL's image firmly stuck in the late 1990s, and by 2009 he was replaced with former Google ad chief Tim Armstrong. However, after a brief hiatus, in 2011 he was hired as an EVP for Univision and within six months was promoted to CEO. Trying to capitalize on the growing US-Latino population, Falco's charge is to bring the Spanish-language media company into the mainstream. [Image via Getty]
