Disney has promoted Jimmy Zasowski to President of Platform Distribution, overseeing global distribution for both Disney Entertainment and ESPN. In this expanded role, Zasowski will manage the worldwide distribution of Disney’s entertainment and sports media operations, including responsibilities across the EMEA region.

Zasowski, who has been with Disney since 2009, previously served as Executive Vice President of Platform Distribution Strategy. He will now lead the distribution and monetization of Disney’s direct-to-consumer streaming services—such as Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+—as well as the company’s linear television portfolio. His oversight also includes ABC’s owned television stations, broadcast affiliations, and the distribution of film and television content through home entertainment and licensing channels.

As part of these leadership changes, Sean Breen, Executive Vice President of Platform Distribution Sales, will now also be responsible for the EMEA, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific regions, in addition to his current oversight of global accounts and North America.

Zasowski will report jointly to Disney Entertainment Co-Chairmen Alan Bergman and Dana Walden, as well as ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro. In a joint statement, Bergman, Walden, and Pitaro praised Zasowski’s strategic vision, dealmaking skills, and collaborative leadership, expressing confidence in his ability to guide Disney’s global distribution as the media landscape continues to evolve.

Upon his appointment, Zasowski shared that he is honored to lead Disney’s distribution and content sales teams and looks forward to strengthening global partnerships and expanding access to Disney’s content in a rapidly changing market.
