Mark Endemaño Gets Expanded Role at Walt Disney International

Mark Endemaño is taking on an expanded role as senior VP of media distribution at Walt Disney International.

Endemaño adds to his remit all of Disney’s international regions—North and South Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Russia and Latin America—in addition to his current portfolio of markets across EMEA. Effective immediately, Endemaño is responsible for the design and implementation of commercial strategies for the linear TV and digital distribution of all of The Walt Disney Company’s media assets internationally. He remains based in London and now reports into both Andy Bird, the chairman of Walt Disney International, and Diego Lerner, the president of The Walt Disney Company EMEA.

Bird commented: “The expansion of Mark’s role will enable us to harmonize our strategies and approach with existing and future partners around the world. I’m sure that Mark will apply to our international business the same strategic acumen and passion for our programming that he has done so ably in his current EMEA role.”

Endemaño said: “We are in a period of immense and exciting change in how our fans consume our great content; it’s essential we are future-focused in how we work with both our partners and directly with audiences. The brands we represent—Disney, ABC Studios, Marvel, Star Wars—are second to none, and I’m looking forward to working with the international distribution teams to build on their excellent work to date and further grow the reach of this unmatched lineup of entertainment across all digital and TV platforms.”
