Alisa Bowen, who has served as president of Disney+ since September 2022, is set to leave her position to become the CEO of Fubo, the internet TV streaming service that is majority-owned by Disney. This transition will take effect on July 10, 2026, as announced by Fubo on Thursday.
Bowen's New Role at Fubo TV
In her new role, Bowen will succeed David Gandler, co-founder of FuboTV, who has led the company as CEO for over a decade. Gandler is also departing from the Fubo board, marking a significant leadership change within the organization.

Impact of Bowen's Departure on Disney+
Alisa Bowen's exit from Disney+ raises questions about the future direction of the platform. Since its launch, Disney+ has seen substantial growth, but maintaining that momentum will be a challenge without Bowen's leadership.
