In my new role, I swapped celebrity interviews for CEO sit-downs and Hollywood headlines for global financial news. Airing daily, *Escenario* brought the latest in showbiz to a Spanish-speaking audience, from Hollywood to Latin America. I stay calm and keep it moving. I am already looking forward to our next collaboration with her."
Thomas Makrandreou
Global Communications Manager, ABB
I worked with Ana Maria extensively on the world’s first global music network.
Replacing movie stars and rock legends with CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, bankers, analysts from top global companies, she also became host of the long-format interview show, The Newsmaker. Trust me!

" Her comfort level in front of the camera combined with her unique interviewing style helped create the ‘Escenario’ brand and transform it into one of our flagship programs.
Now, I'm an independent journalist, TV host and event moderator, serving clients across Switzerland and Europe, as well as providing on-camera media training.
TV Personality & Journalist
From celebrities to innovators to top CEOs, talking to people and sharing their stories is my joy and speciality.
In addition, she is the co-founder of a non-profit she started with her family, Trekking for Kids, and supports her second daughter through Insieme 21, a group for families of children with Trisomie 21 (Down’s Syndrome).
The pursuit of her own personal story brought this Cuban, Spanish, American to Zurich, where she lives with her family, chases her writing and obsesses about making the world a better place for her girls.
Request for Ana Maria Montero
In the world of TV hosting and journalism, it’s not just about telling stories - it’s about making them come alive.
Where personality meets passion
With every interview, every broadcast, and every segment, I bring my energy, curiosity, and a dash of humor to the mix.
And I worked with her on dozens of promos, commercials and corporate presentations. There’s a warmth and sparkle in the delivery, and I’ve always been one of her biggest fans.
