DIRECTV announced today that Michael Hartman, senior vice
president and general counsel of DIRECTV Latin America, has been
appointed to an additional role as corporate secretary and deputy
general counsel of DIRECTV.
Hartman, who will continue to oversee all legal, government
relations and regulatory affairs for DIRECTV’s rapidly growing
Latin America business, will assume key corporate governance
responsibilities for DIRECTV that include working closely with its
board of directors to ensure compliance with relevant legislation
and regulations and provide counsel to the board on key legal
responsibilities.
Hartman will report to Larry Hunter, executive vice president
and general counsel of DIRECTV. In his capacity as general counsel
of DIRECTV Latin America, he will continue to report to Bruce
Churchill, president of DIRECTV Latin America.
“Michael has done a superb job of handling the myriad of unique
regulatory and legal issues, common to doing business in multiple
Latin America countries, during a period of transition and
continued record-setting growth,” said Hunter. “Michael is well
prepared to take on these added responsibilities with DIRECTV and
we look forward to having the benefit of his sharp legal mind,
corporate governance expertise and wisdom.”
Hartman joined DIRECTV in 2004 as senior vice president and
general counsel of DIRECTV Latin America and was responsible for
negotiating and overseeing the approvals and closings of
transactions that combined DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Latin
America. More recently, Michael guided government relations efforts
to face significant changes to the regulatory regimes in Brazil,
Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia; spearheaded the acquisition of
wireless spectrum in Argentina, Brazil and Peru; and recently
formed the Alliance Against Pay TV Piracy (Alianza Contra la
Piratería en Televisión Paga), a pan-regional alliance of pay TV
