FuboTV Appoints Ex-Disney+ President Alisa Bowen CEO as Disney Takes 70% Stake FuboTV appointed former Disney+ president Alisa Bowen as CEO, effective 10 July 2026, with co‑founder David Gandler stepping down from both the CEO role and the board after 11 years, following Disney’s acquisition of a 70% stake in the company through the merger of Hulu + Live TV with Fubo.
The board is leaning on Bowen’s nearly 30 years of media and streaming experience at Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ to push FuboTV’s plan across sports, news and entertainment content and to focus on execution around growth and profitability under Disney’s majority ownership.
FuboTV shares trade at $9.18, with the stock down 70.5% year to date, which frames investor expectations around the leadership change and Disney integration.
The key question now is whether Bowen’s operational track record and Disney’s control can translate into tighter execution on content, costs and product, since any misstep could matter more given the recent share price pressure. Announcement • Jul 10
