In this new episode of Season 4 of A LA LATINA, Claudia Romo Edelman and Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner welcome the amazing Mónica Gil—a visionary leader redefining what success looks like for Latinas in media and business. As Chief Administrative and Marketing Officer at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, Mónica leads the network’s Operations, Marketing, Strategy & Insights, and Communications teams—making her one of the most influential Latina executives in the U.S. media landscape today. Since joining Telemundo in 2017, Mónica has been instrumental in propelling the network to become the #1 Spanish-language broadcaster in the nation. From spearheading groundbreaking digital and brand campaigns—including Telemundo’s record-breaking 2022 FIFA World Cup broadcast—to overseeing nearly 4,000 hours of annual content production at the state-of-the-art Telemundo Center, her impact is undeniable. A trailblazer at the intersection of technology and leadership, Mónica shares her personal and professional journey—from her early days in political strategy in California to transforming media insights at Nielsen, and ultimately breaking glass ceilings at Telemundo. She also opens up about her passion for empowering women and youth, including her creation of Telemundo’s Women Leadership programs and the Telemundo Academy. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: 1.-Learn the unspoken rules – Success in any organization often depends on understanding what’s not said. Watch, listen, and learn from those around you. 2.- Embrace technology now – Staying ahead of the tech curve is critical. It’s far easier to keep up than to catch up. 3.- Use code-switching thoughtfully – Adapting how you communicate in different settings can be a valuable tool for growth—without losing your authenticity. Mónica’s wisdom, warmth, and strategic insight make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to lead with courage while staying grounded in their identity.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
