Before working with Univision he was Vice President of Programming at Televisa, of Broadcasting, and of Operations.

In the February sweeps, the network came in fourth place for the first time with adult demographics while NBC came in fifth. In the July sweeps, Univision came in as the No. 1 network among both Adults 18-49 and 18-34 for the first time, setting an unprecedented milestone – during a time when other networks "invested more than ever in summer programming" according to CEO Randy Falco.

Univision had made claims of Donald Trump, president of the United States, to be "thinned-skin" after Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants. Trump had made claims about Mexican immigrants stating "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people". " As a result, Univision had terminated a five-year, $13.5 million deal to broadcast the Miss USA Pageant. Univision believes that after such words he had "destroyed the value of those broadcast rights, and neither Trump nor Miss Universe did anything to repair the damage in the aftermath of his speech.
