Mario Búcaro named new Miss Universe Organization CEO

Mario Búcaro has been appointed as the new CEO of the Miss Universe Organization (MUO), succeeding Anne Jakrajutatip.

This leadership change follows a reorganization in the board of directors at JKN Global Group in Thailand.

Jakrajutatip stepped down from her executive roles on June 20, 2025, and the MUO expressed appreciation for her contributions.

Búcaro, a former Vice President for International Relations at MUO, also has extensive diplomatic experience, including serving as Guatemala's Minister of Foreign Affairs.

His appointment comes less than a month before the Miss Universe 2025 pageant in Bangkok, Thailand.
