Walt Disney Co. said it is shaking up its streaming management and forming a new hub for international content creation as the company searches for further growth amid intense competition.
The company on Wednesday named Michael Paull to the newly created role of president of Disney Streaming, in which he will oversee Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and Star+ globally for the company’s media and entertainment distribution division. Mr. Paull, who previously oversaw Disney+ and ESPN+, will report to Kareem Daniel, chairman of the media and entertainment distribution unit.
