Ayo Davis has been named president of Disney Branded Television, working closely with Gary Marsh on a transition through the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Davis will take on the creative and operational leadership of the content group. She will oversee the operations of Disney Branded Television, including programming, strategy, development, current series, production, casting, business affairs and marketing for scripted, unscripted and animation for Disney+, Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior.<\/p>\n

The promotion to president comes after Davis most recently served as executive VP of creative development and strategy of Disney Branded Television, overseeing scripted and unscripted series, movies and specials targeted to kids, teens and families.<\/p>\n

She will be reporting to Peter Rice, chairman of Disney General Entertainment. \u201cAyo is a focused leader with impeccable creative instincts who\u2019s excelled in every role she\u2019s held at Disney,\u201d said Rice. \u201cHer creative eye for talent has made meaningful impact in front of and behind the camera, from iconic shows across our networks that were defined by their casting choices to building a roster of creator talent that will redefine family programming at Disney Branded Television. She\u2019s the absolute perfect person to lead the team at a time they are broadening their remit to develop more family programming across streaming and cable distribution. I\u2019m excited to watch all she will accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am beyond grateful to Peter Rice and Gary Marsh for their extraordinary leadership, support and mentorship,\u201d said Davis. \u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous honor to continue Gary\u2019s legacy of delighting kids and families through Disney Branded TV\u2019s unparalleled storytelling, and it\u2019s an amazing time for kids’ and family programming. I\u2019m thrilled to continue working with my team, colleagues, our TV studios and, of course, the creators who trust us with their projects as we work to develop the next generation of beloved stories and franchises.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
