Disney Appoints Tony Chambers as President of EMEA

Chambers transitions from leading theatrical distribution to oversee Disney's Europe, Middle East, and Africa operations in a strategic restructuring.

• Tony Chambers, a 30-year Disney veteran, will become the President of Disney's Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) division starting February 2025.
• This move follows the departure of Jan Koeppen, who led the EMEA division for six years, achieving significant growth and overseeing Disney+ expansion in the region.
• Chambers previously served as Disney's Head of Theatrical Distribution, guiding the studio through the pandemic and achieving a $5 billion global box office milestone in 2024.
• The restructuring aligns EMEA operations more closely with Disney's global strategy, with regional teams reporting directly to U.S.-based leaders for key business areas like streaming, theatrical distribution, and sports.
• Disney plans to invest $5 billion in the EMEA region over the next five years, focusing on blockbuster films, TV shows, and local original content for Disney+.
