Chairman Emeritus

CISNEROS announces with deep sorrow the passing of Gustavo Cisneros Rendiles, esteemed Chairman of our Board of Directors. Gustavo was a visionary leader whose influence extended far beyond the confines of the business realm, noted for his strategic foresight and commitment to innovation.

Gustavo Cisneros was renowned for crafting a sustainable legacy and particularly distinguished himself through the international expansion of the family business ventures, as well as spearheading the entertainment industry across Latin America and the US Hispanic market.

Gustavo's fervor for leadership and excellence also shone through in his personal life as a devoted father and husband. He was steadfast in guiding his family, instilling core values of respect and integrity. Together with his wife, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, he forged a bond of deep understanding, mutual respect, and unwavering support, striking a harmonious balance between his professional obligations and his profound love for his family. 

His exemplary leadership and dedication serve as a beacon of inspiration, urging us to pursue a path marked by excellence and a responsible engagement with our communities and the wider society.

May he rest in peace.
