I had worked at Disney since they bought the company that I had worked for, ABC in the mid-90s.

We really believe that Walt Disney is a very able company with great depth and a great set of franchises.

We fully expect this is a giant step in the direction of growing the company and all its Disney brands and businesses in this very populous region,

I'm privileged and grateful to lead The Walt Disney Company and our talented, dedicated team at this exciting time.

I have tremendous brand experience. What I do a lot for Disney is manage the great brands of this company, whether it's Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, Marvel, 'Star Wars.' And I'm very engaged in technology and its impact on the consumer, either what experience you deliver for them or how to market and sell to them.

The heart and soul of the company is creativity and innovation.
