Mark Zoradi has resigned as president of the Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Group, the latest in a series of longtime studio executives to leave the studio in recent months.
Zoradi, who had worked for the studio for 29 years, oversaw the marketing and distribution for all of the studios films, including Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Touchstone Pictures and Disneynature.
The move comes after the departure in September of Zoradi’s boss, former Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook, who was replaced by Disney Channels Worldwide chief Rich Ross. The studio also saw the departure Miramax Films president Daniel Battsek last month.
‘Mark has done an outstanding job over his many years with the Studio,’ Walt Ross said in a statement. ‘He’s a respected leader throughout the entertainment industry and we wish him the very best.’
