“This appointment speaks clearly of our ongoing vision to further develop our technology enabled consumer-centric business. Colino has a deep understanding of our unique portfolio of brands, the valuable place they hold in the market, and how they can be maximised across screens, on pages and in experiences for the Mexican and Latin American audiences,” commented Blau.
Colino is currently Digital Director, a position he has held for more than a year. This is the first time that a digital executive of the company has been appointed to its most senior position in the market, demonstrating Condé Nast's approach to platform integration and its ambitions for the future, says the company. Colino assumes his new position on August the 1st.

“We are delighted about the appointment of Joaquin Colino and confident that he will be able to maintain our legacy with continued leadership in the region and take the company forward. Meeting the needs of changing audiences and markets and guaranteeing the excellence of our content across all our platforms will be his priority,” said Javier Pascual del Olmo, President of Condé Nast Mexico and Latin America.
