Michael Paull, president of Walt Disney's streaming entertainment unit, is leaving the firm after six years, according to a statement released by The Walt Disney Company on Wednesday.
As part of an effort to restructure the company, Disney also said it was naming Joe Earley as president of Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment, effective immediately, while adding that Early will also be in front of Hulu until a successor is identified.
"Joe has proven himself to be an extraordinary asset and is uniquely positioned for this role as we guide Disney's streaming strategy into the future," said Alan Bergman and Dana Walden, Co-chairmen of Disney Entertainment. "His vast industry experience and deep understanding of what sets our prestigious portfolio of brands apart will be essential as we build on our robust direct-to-consumer efforts."
