Pietro Carlos, EMI Televisa VP of marketing and promotion, has left the company, Billboard.biz has learned.
Carlos, who had long successfully run his own independent promotion company, PCM Entertainment, was hired as VP of promotions for EMI Latin three years ago. His job was later expanded to include the duties of marketing VP for EMI Televisa. During Carlos’ tenure, several EMI Televisa acts made No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin songs charts, including Fonseca, RBD and Juan Luis Guerra.
When asked about future plans, Carlos said: “I’m going to Disneyland.” EMI Televisa confirmed Carlos had departed.
Sources familiar with the situation indicate another veteran promotion executive, Jorge Ramos, would come in as VP of Promotions, but no other details were available.
