[Deleted member 107043]

Big leadership changes have been announced for WDI with a consolidation of two roles, chief creative exec and chief construction exec, into one role overseeing the entire organization.

"Mr. Weis replaces two executives. Bruce Vaughn, who has served for the last eight years as chief creative executive for the Imagineering unit, will leave Disney after a transition period of several months. Mr. Vaughn’s counterpart for construction, Craig Russell, will remain at Imagineering, but not in the same kind of leadership role."

According to the article the transition will happen over the next several months.

Thanks. This probably won't go anywhere, but I figured it might be interesting to start a conversation about the transition in the context of DLR.
