In a statement released earlier this month, Disney announced it has made a veteran US government employee its new Executive Vice President of Global Communications.
Disney’s new spokesperson, Kristina Schake, has previously worked as the leader of the White House’s COVID-19 education program under President Biden, Special Assistant to the President and Communications Director to the First Lady under the Obama administration, and worked as Deputy Communications Director on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Schake has also served as the Global Communications Director for Instagram.
In the statement, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer for Disney, Geoff Morrell said, “I could not be more pleased to welcome Kristina to Disney and to have her leading communications for the company.”
“Her experience in the public and private sectors, in political and corporate campaigns, make her ideally suited for this important role and to help me integrate communications with government relations, public policy, and corporate social responsibility into a new Corporate Affairs team,” he added.
