Disney Named Geoff Morrell as Chief Communications Officer
The Walt Disney Company found its new Chief Communications Officer. Disney named Geoff Morrell in the position as he replaces Zenia Mucha.
A Fresh Change with New Responsibilities
Currently, Geoff Morrell is the Executive Vice President of Communications and Advocacy at BP, the oil and gas company. Mucha had the communications position at Disney for almost 20 years; however, she announced her resignation this past summer. She planned to step down with Bob Iger as he leaves Disney, as well.
Morrell obtains Mucha’s responsibilities, but he will also lead government relations in his new role. The Walt Disney Company’s chief counsel’s office used to be over government relations.
Currently, the Walt Disney Company made no comment, and we are not sure when an official announcement will be made. However, sources say that Disney named Geoff Morrell in this role as Chief Communications Officer.
Morrell’s Resume
Morrell is considered to be “instrumental in rebuilding BP’s reputation following the Deepwater Horizon accident,” which was an oil spill and a huge environmental disaster. Therefore, he plays an important role for Disney too, especially during the post-Iger era.
Additionally, Morrell worked for four years at the Pentagon as Chief Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense during George W. Bush’s and Barack Obama’s administrations. Also, he was a White House journalist for ABC News.
Morrell was on the Georgetown University Board of Regents, The National Council of the White House Historical Association, and the Board of Directors of the American Ditchley Foundation. We wish Geoff Morrell luck in his new role, and may Disney magic live forever!
