Top Disney Exec Yanover Exits Company
One of Disney’s top digital executives is leaving the company, according to Deadline.com.
Paul Yanover, evp and managing director of Disney Online—who logged 16 years at Disney across two separate stints—announced he’s exiting in January.
During Yanover’s tenure, Disney underwent significant changes to its digital products, including multiple relaunches of the flagship Disney.com, while also making major pushes in online games and the parenting vertical. For example, Yanover oversaw the acquisition of the kids virtual world Club Penguin, as well as Web-based games tied to the Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars movie franchises, among others.
Plus, last year Disney acquired the Canadian company Kaboose, which included several kid- and mom-oriented sites.
