Disney hires Emily Feingold as communications VP.
David Jefferson accepted Disney’s voluntary early-retirement offer after 15 years with the company, and Emily Feingold is succeeding him. She left Netflix five months ago after nine years there; most recently, she was vice president and head of communications for the U.S. and Canada. At Disney, her remit stretches across media relations, financial and technology communications, and enterprise editorial, executive and brand messaging. So this is more than a change in who handles media relations: Feingold’s new portfolio reaches across several parts of how Disney communicates.
