Disney has announced a major leadership transition within its Disney Experiences division, with Disneyland Resort President Thomas Mazloum stepping into the role of Chair of Disney Experiences. The promotion positions Mazloum at the helm of one of the entertainment giant's most expansive business segments, which includes its global theme parks, cruise line fleet, resort hotels, and consumer products division.
Mazloum takes over from Josh D'Amaro, who is set to become Disney's next Chief Executive Officer on March 18 — the date of the company's annual shareholder meeting. D'Amaro praised Mazloum as the ideal executive to lead Disney Experiences into its next era of growth.
With a career spanning decades in both the Disney ecosystem and the luxury hospitality industry, Mazloum brings a wealth of operational expertise to his new position. He first joined Disney in 1998 as a hotel director for Disney Cruise Line before transitioning to a food and beverage leadership role at EPCOT in Walt Disney World. He departed in 2002 to join Crystal Cruises, where he climbed the ranks to Chief Operating Officer over a 15-year tenure.
Returning to Disney in 2017, Mazloum took on senior operational responsibilities at Walt Disney World Resort, eventually becoming President of Disney Signature Experiences in 2020, where he spearheaded plans to double the cruise fleet by 2031. Most recently, as President of Disneyland Resort, he managed the resort's two theme parks, three hotels, and the Downtown Disney District.
Alongside Mazloum's appointment, Disney announced several additional leadership changes effective March 18. Jill Estorino, a 35-year Disney veteran, will serve as the new President of Disneyland Resort. Tasia Filippatos has been named President of Disney Parks International, and Lisa Baldzicki has been elevated to President of Disney Consumer Products.
