Randy Freer is out as Hulu CEO amid a reorganization that will more closely align the streaming service with parent company Disney and its direct-to-consumer business
Randy Freer is leaving his role as Hulu CEO amid a reorganization that will more closely align the streaming service with parent company Disney and its direct-to-consumer business.
"I want to thank Randy for his leadership the last two years as CEO and for his collaboration the past several months to ensure an exceptionally bright future for Hulu," Kevin Mayer, chairman of direct-to-consumer and international at Disney, said in a statement. "With the successful launch of Disney+, we are now focused on the benefits of scale within and across our portfolio of DTC businesses.
Freer added, "I am grateful for my time at Hulu and the opportunity to work and learn with an incredibly talented and dedicated group of people. I also want to thank Kevin and the Walt Disney Company, as well as NBCUniversal and Fox, for providing me the opportunity to lead Hulu during a time of tremendous growth and significant industry transformation.
As part of the change, leaders at Hulu will report directly into Disney's direct-to-consumer and international division leaders. Freer will remain in his role for the next several weeks to help with the company's integration.
