The Walt Disney Co. on Thursday reported that Jonathan Headley
has been named senior vice president and treasurer.
He will report to Christine McCarthy, who was treasurer before
becoming chief financial officer this summer.
Mr. Headley was assistant treasurer. He joined the corporate
finance team as a senior analyst in 1996 and worked as an analyst
at Goldman Sachs & Co.
Most recently, Walt Disney said its earnings rose a
better-than-expected 11%, boosted in part because of the success of
Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" as well as the continued
popularity of merchandise related to the "Frozen" film.
Disney's results in recent quarters have been buoyed by sales of
merchandise tied in with "Frozen," which was released in late 2013.
Plans for a "Frozen Ever After" next year at Epcot Center in
Orlando, Fla., highlight Disney's strategy of focusing on certain
franchises that live on for years as theme-park rides, toys,
videogames, television shows, pajamas and just about anything else
that helps keeps revenue rolling in.
