Danyel Mendoza Has Been Promoted to VP of Disney Branded Networks
Danyel Mendoza has been promoted to a newly created position at Disney Entertainment and will now hold the title of VP of programming strategy & content planning at Disney Branded Networks.
Mendoza will now oversee both linear and nonlinear platforms at Disney, as the linear and non-linear planning and strategy teams have been combined into a single unit. She will report to Christian Drobnyk, executive VP of programming, FX, National Geographic, Freeform & Disney Branded Television.
“Danyel has exceptional expertise in our kid-targeted content, platforms, and franchise business and is a true team player working collaboratively across the company to develop, launch, and grow key multi-platform priorities,” said Drobnyk.

She also oversaw the relaunch of National Geographic Kids on YouTube.
It has been an eventful week at The Walt Disney Company. The news of Mendoza’s promotion comes just days after Sean Bailey stepped down as President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. He was swiftly replaced by Searchlight co-president David Greenbaum.
