So it looks like this new division is separate from Imagineering? Barbara Bouza also updated her LinkedIn. She used to be President of Business Ops and Project Delivery but now it shows that she is President of WDI Design and Delivery. (Bob Weis was previously President WDI Design)
Definitely an unusual situation. One that they didn’t immediately get him offstage once he started causing an scene. And second I don’t know if the managers realized he was live streaming because that also isn’t allowed.
