The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has expanded its Latin America team and named Cesar Castillejos VP of communications, public affairs and advocacy for the region and Carlos Monroy advocacy director for Mexico.
Castillejos and Monroy join the worldwide team led by Gail MacKinnon, senior EVP global policy, and government affairs. They report directly to Carla Sanchez Armas, managing director of Latin America.
Castillejos worked for more than 10 years in the public sector and has held senior positions across the executive branch of Mexico’s government, including as a communications adviser to former president Enrique Peña Nieto.
Recently, he led communications for the Federal Judiciary Authority and the National Supreme Court of Justice.
Monroy served for 11 years in the public sector, working in both the Mexican Congress and the Federal Public Administration. Until 2022, he served as senior advisor to the former secretary of economy Tatiana Clouthier.
During this period he oversaw Mexico’s industrial policy alongside the undersecretary for industry and commerce. He also designed and implemented the ministry’s policy to promote creative industries.
Armas said, “César and Carlos bring a wealth of skills and insights that will advance the MPA and member studios’ priorities in the region.”
