Felipe Gozon

Felipe Gozon

Felipe Gozon is the current chief executive and chair of GMA Network Inc., one of the largest media networks in the Philippines.

A lawyer by profession, the Yale-educated Gozon is seen as the network executive who has successfully turned-around GMA from its state as the second-running television network to its current stature, at some point toppling the long-dominant ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in 2004, 2005 and until today. Under his watch, the network has also experienced stability in terms of revenues, mostly from advertising and other revenue sources.
