Disney Reorganizes New-Media Execs

Disney is reorganizing its gaming and Internet executive ranks following the merger last month of the two divisions.

An internal memo from Steve Wadsworth, head of the merged unit now called Disney Interactive Media Group, outlined the new corporate structure.

The most noteworthy move is the retirement of Mark Handler, formerly head of Walt Disney Internet Group International, though Handler will continue to work for the company for the next six months.

The e-mail also noted Graham Hopper will continue on as head of the gaming side, Disney Interactive Studios, while Paul Yanover will expand his oversight of Disney Online, which contains the Internet and mobile initiatives, to a global basis.
