Joe Earley Promoted To Lead Disney’s Streaming Efforts As Michael Paull Exits
deadline.comDisney has a new streaming boss. Joe Earley, who was President of Hulu, has been promoted to President, Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment and Michael Paull, who was previously in that role, is leaving the company.
The move comes after Bob Iger launched Disney Entertainment, the new division run by Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, in February, a shakeup that saw the pair take over all of the company’s global streaming businesses and managing all content decisions for Disney+ and Disney-controlled Hulu.
These functions previously sat under Kareem Daniel’s Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution (DMED) division. Earley will report directly to Walden and Bergman and will continue to lead Hulu until a successor is identified.
In his new role, Earley will work closely with content teams around the company to continue to expand the company’s streaming efforts across both Disney+ and Hulu.
