emerging following the announcement of the departure of Walt Disney Company

 


More details are emerging following the announcement of the departure of Walt Disney Company chief financial officer Christine McCarthy from the company. 

The abrupt exit caught some colleagues and associates off guard, as she will take family medical leave to help care for her husband, who is in a healthcare facility.

However, a person familiar with the situation said that nothing has dramatically changed in her life recently to cause the departure.

  • McCarthy clashed with Disney CEO Bob Iger and other executives over strategy, including how much Disney spends on content.
    • She also didn't believe a recent restructuring of the company went far enough to streamline the company.
  • McCarthy believed that the Disney Entertainment unit, which houses movie and TV operations as well as Hulu and Disney+, needed to be further consolidated.
