Disney is investing in original stories and streaming tech, while leaning into AI on its tech teams.
Under CEO Josh D’Amaro, Disney has unified key teams, which involved layoffs this spring.
Here are org charts for top execs like D’Amaro, creative chief Dana Walden, and ESPN’s Jimmy Pitaro.
Disney’s leadership team, under CEO Josh D’Amaro, wants to ensure the company remains an entertainment powerhouse as tech evolves and frenemies like YouTube emerge.
Since taking the top job in March, D’Amaro has emphasized original, creative storytelling, improving Disney’s streaming technology, and keeping the parks business he previously oversaw humming. He also installed TV executive Dana Walden as chief creative officer to usher in new hit franchises and solidify its strategy in video games.
Amid all the changes, Business Insider compiled Disney’s internal organizational charts showing who reports to top executives in the C-suite and the Product & Tech teams, based on screenshots sent by a staffer.
We are now publishing org charts for reports to Hugh Johnston, chief financial officer, and Jimmy Pitaro, chairman of ESPN, within the C-suite.
In streaming leadership, we have org charts for Joe Earley, co-president of direct-to-consumer (along with Smith); Alisa Bowen, president of Disney+; and Lauren Tempest, head of content planning & partnerships for direct-to-consumer.
Within Smith’s purview at Disney Entertainment, we have charts for Andre Rohe, EVP of product engineering; Chris Lawson, EVP of content platforms & operations; and Erin Teague, EVP of product management.
Below are those org charts, in alphabetical order by first name.
