However, Disney has expanded the role’s territory to address the growing need for NFTs and the metaverse. The recent development was unsurprising, given Bob Chapek’s announcement at the D23 Expo fan convention.
The Disney CEO discussed exploring and creating new plans for the metaverse on September 10. Moreover, the company hired an Apple executive as its VP of Next Generation Storytelling Creative Experiences in June.
Similarly, the department gained an executive vice president who was promoted from the consumer experiences executive position. As per Bob Chapek, this is Disney’s way of promoting next-generation storytelling.
The company started venturing into the NFT industry in 2021 when it released its Walt and Mickey Partners NFT on VeVe. Given its aggressive approach towards the metaverse and NFTs, Disney is expected to make several major announcements before 2022 ends.
The new lawyer will play a crucial role in the company’s legal department. As the LinkedIn post dictates, the candidate must have at least five years of experience running and managing sophisticated corporate transactions.
