Joshua David Mintz (born August 22, 1965) is a Mexican TV executive.
Mintz has held leadership and production positions in the four most important Hispanic TV networks in the US and Mexico, having worked at Telemundo, Televisa, Univision and TV Azteca.
In 2000, Mintz joined Univision as director of drama production and participated in the design of their first novela studio in Miami. While at Univision, Mintz was executive producer of the Selena Vive! live special from Houston, TX, which became the highest-rated show in U.S. Hispanic television history at that time.
In 2006, Mintz joined Azteca America as director of Programming and shortly thereafter was promoted to director of Programming, Production and Operations.
He signed longtime Univision talk show host Cristina Saralegui for a new talk show on Telemundo, Pa'lante con Cristina. Under Mintz, Telemundo produced La Reina del Sur, a telenovela that premiered to more viewers than any other show in Telemundo history. The show's May 2011 season finale recorded the highest ratings in network history.
Under Mintz' supervision of content development, Telemundo delivered a record-breaking performance for five consecutive years since the 2010–2011 season, becoming the fastest growing Spanish-Language Broadcast Network in the United States, surpassing its main competitor by 2015 and even positioning itself as the number one Hispanic network in the country.
Following this role, Mintz served as executive vice president of scripted programming & general manager at Telemundo Television Studios, where he was responsible for all fiction and drama productions in the United States, Mexico and Colombia, as well as any new co-productions for Telemundo Media.
From 2016 through 2018, Mintz served as President of Production (fiction) of the Mexican network TV Azteca.
