After a brief stint at healthcare company Medtronic, 15-year Disney veteran Jen Rehberger returns to the entertainment conglomerate as senior vice president of human resources for Disney Entertainment Television. His appointment, effective May 1, was announced in a memo to employees by Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden.
Rehberger takes over from Sonya Coleman, who was promoted to senior vice president and chief human resources officer at The Walt Disney Company in March.
During his 15-year career at Disney, Rehberger rose through the ranks, holding leadership positions in HR and DE&I at various consumer products, digital gaming, television and streaming content companies. Most recently, she was Vice President of Human Resources at Disney Television.
"Jen's experience, knowledge and passion for fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration will be invaluable to our organization," Walden said in his memo. You can read it in full below.
Equipment,
Sonya Coleman and I are pleased to announce that a familiar face is returning to our organization. Jen Rehberger will join my leadership team as Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Disney Entertainment Television, based out of our Burbank office. Your first day will be May 1st.
Jen is an extremely talented executive who worked at Disney for 15 years before taking a short hiatus. She will take over the role from Sonia who, as you know, was promoted to Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at TWDC last month. In her role, Jen will be responsible for supporting the HR business; diversity, equity and inclusion efforts; employee development and engagement; recruitment and compensation; Scouting; training and talent development; and employee relations across our portfolio of brands and groups.
With Sonya transitioning into a new role, our goal was to find someone who could quickly transition into her old role and work with all of us, and I have no doubt Jen is that person. He knows our business and our work and many of you already have a relationship with him. I am confident Jen will build on the foundation she laid during her previous tenure here and help pave an exciting path forward.
Jen is returning from Medtronic, where she was Vice President of Global Human Resources Functions, responsible for the division's human resources strategy. At Disney, he rose through the ranks, holding senior HR and DE&I positions at various consumer products, digital gaming, television and streaming content companies.
Jen's experience, knowledge and passion for fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration will be invaluable to our company. Please join me in welcoming you back to the company. I'm so lucky to have Jen on our team.
Regards, Dana
