The Walt Disney Company has appointed Carol Choi as the new President of its Asia Pacific division, effective December 1. Choi, a 20-year veteran of the company, will succeed Luke Kang, who is retiring after 16 years. In her new role, Choi will oversee Disney's studios, streaming services, original content, and consumer products across the expansive Asia Pacific region.
Meanwhile, Netflix has ousted Dan Lin as its Head of Film, marking another significant executive change at the streaming giant. This move follows recent speculation about leadership shifts within the company. The departure of Lin, who has been a key figure in Netflix's film division, comes as the streamer prepares to release its latest earnings report amidst a period of stock fluctuation. These developments signal ongoing strategic realignments within major entertainment corporations.
