Disney hunts international sales chief

Walt Disney Attractions is looking for a sales and marketing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), a newly created role.

The new director will work alongside Stephen Park, UK sales and marketing director for Walt Disney Attractions and will have responsibility for all marketing and sales outside the EMEA not including the UK.

Suzy Brown, travel industry marketing manager for Walt Disney Attractions, says: “The new role reflects the growing importance of the European market for Walt Disney.”

The new appointee will report to London-based Tom Allen who was made vice president of sales and marketing for Walt Disney Attractions for EMEA including the UK, six months ago. He is the most senior marketer for Walt Disney Attractions outside the US.

Walt Disney Attractions promotes the Walt Disney World theme park, a 47 square mile complex of four theme parks including the newly opened Animal Kingdom, as well as 16 hotels. Its biggest market outside the US is the UK.
