Walt Disney Imagineers are the brains behind the absolutely stunning tech and design we see in the Disney parks.
Imagineers have come up with some seriously mind-blowing stuff. With everything from details in Animal Kingdom, to scary-realistic audio-animatronics under their belts, it’s no wonder that Imagineering is one of the most famous departments at Disney. Now, Walt Disney Imagineering has a NEW President of Business Operations, Design & Delivery — meet Barbara Bouza!
Walt Disney Imagineering announced that Bouza would be taking on a new role in the company to oversee daily operations, development, and project delivery. She has more than 25 years of management, design, and strategic planning experience.
Of her new position, Bouza said, “Walt Disney Imagineering is a highly collaborative organization, where a multitude of disciplines come together to create world-renowned experiences. It’s truly a place where creativity and innovation thrive. I have a deep passion for science, technology, and design, so this is really a dream opportunity for me, and I’m incredibly honored to join this inspiring team.”
