WAWA Woman of the Year Award 2020

As part of WAWA’s Association activities in favor of women’s work globally in the audiovisual industry, we present the “Woman of the Year Award”, which is the way to reward the work done by those women who left a mark and continue providing knowledge in this field.

This year, Cecilia Galeana was selected to receive this award that honors the path of valuable women in the industry and unites the mission of WAWA as an organization.

The executive, who was born in Mexico City in the 60’s, started her professional career in the media really young. She started at Televisa Mexico in 1979 and since then has been part of that great company.

“I’ve had many satisfactions throughout my career.
Televisa, my home, has let me meet wonderful people like you.”

In a warm and joyous event sponsored by Kanal D, Cecilia Galeana received the award with great emotion, remembering the satisfactions her career has given her. She stated: “in 2019 I celebrated my 40th anniversary in this industry. It’s been an industry that trapped me since I started with Televisa. I’ve had many satisfactions throughout my career.

Televisa, my home, has let me meet wonderful people like you. I’ve had the opportunity of traveling, and above all, I’ve had the opportunity of being my family’s support.”

Galeana studied Economy at ITAM, a prestigious university in Mexico City, while working at Televisa. She later was transferred to Los Angeles office and soon after that she was promoted to International Distribution Manager. She later was transferred to the New York office.

Since 1994 she works at Televisa’s offices in Miami and she is currently the Sales Manager for Central America and the Caribbean, which includes more than 12 countries. To us, her professional performance is an example of commitment and professionalism in the audiovisual world.
