Disney Makes Changes To FuboTV Leadership. Alisa Bowen as CEO, replacing co-founder David Gandler
Disney is making some big moves over at Fubo, the streaming platform the company owns 70% of. The Mouse House has installed Alisa Bowen, a longtime Disney executive, as CEO of Fubo.
Fubo was co-founded by David Gandler, who had been serving as CEO. Bowen is a 10-year veteran at Disney and most recently served as President of Disney+.
Disney’s increased control over Fubo came out of a 2025 settlement. That happened after Disney tried to team up with Discovery and Fox to launch Venu, a sports streamer that never got off the ground. Reports indicated Gandler and Disney didn’t mesh, and the quick CEO changeover makes it pretty clear they weren’t a match made in heaven.
Disney now has Hulu, Disney+, and Fubo under its streaming umbrella. Deadline reports that Hulu + Live TV and Fubo together have 6.2 million subscribers. It’s a solid number, but still far from the top in live TV streaming. YouTube holds the lead with 10 million subs.
Industry insiders will be watching closely to see what Bowen does with Fubo next.
