As a name, a brand, and a global entertainment company, Walt Disney is indelibly interwoven into the childhood memories of millions of people across the globe. With its subsidiaries and affiliates, The Walt Disney Company is the world’s biggest family entertainment organisation and media enterprise, consisting of five business segments: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, consumer products, and interactive media.

Managing Director John Cracknell is passionate about the important role and responsibility of his team in delivering Disney magic to Australian families. “I don’t think there’s a better company that I could have chosen to work for,” John says. “We’ve got the best content and the strongest franchises in the world. Every year, I find myself saying there’s never been a better time to work at Disney. I grew up with characters and stories that I loved, and I’m now introducing them to my grandchildren and to families across Australia.”
