Disney elevated April Carretta to EVP of communications, reporting to chief communications officer Paul Roeder. As part of her expanded duties, Caretta will be the day-to-day communications lead for Dana Walden, who last month took on the newly created role of president and chief creative officer under CEO Josh D’Amaro.

Carretta most recently was head of communications for Disney’s direct-to-consumer business and tech and product teams. In the new role, she will continue heading PR for those areas, while also adding responsibility for Disney’s games biz (which now is under Walden’s purview instead of Disney Experiences).
