Catherine Powell, who ran the U.S. and Paris theme parks for Walt Disney Co. is leaving the company.
The 15-year veteran is departing to do something different, Disney said Monday.
Powell was credited with reinvigorating the company’s two Disneyland Paris parks with new attractions. She also worked in Disney’s TV division earlier in her career.
When Disney restructured their Parks division, consolidating the branch with Disney Consumer Products, Powell moved from President of Disneyland Paris to CEO of the Western Hemisphere.
The new position she was appointed to has been eliminated, and the heads of the individual resorts will now report directly to Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Products division.
