Walt Disney said it has added Carolyn Everson, a veteran technology and media executive, to its board of directors one month after activist investor Dan Loeb sent a letter to Disney Chief Executive Bob Chapek asking him to “refresh” the board.
Ms. Everson, 50 years old, was most recently president of grocery delivery company Instacart Inc., a position she left after about four months, and for 10 years was vice president of the global business group at Facebook Inc., now known as Meta Platforms Inc. In that role, she helped craft media strategy and focused on advertising sales.
