Mr. Lerner has served since 2009 as President, The Walt Disney Company EMEA, where he has overseen all lines of business of The Walt Disney Company except ESPN and Disneyland Resort Paris. During his tenure, the EMEA business has grown significantly and has seen continuous improvement in the consumer affinity for its brands. Lerner reshaped the organization to generate greater local relevance for The Walt Disney Company across the diverse range of consumers in the region's more than one hundred countries. Prior to his current role, he held a similar position for 10 years in Latin America, where he led the effort to integrate all Disney lines of business under a single operational structure–the first time such a reorganization had been implemented overseas. The vertically integrated model that Mr. Lerner developed in Latin America went on to serve as the template for Disney International's operations in territories around the globe.
