Disney TV's Head of Communications is Leaving After Nearly a Decade

There have been a lot of changes inside The Walt Disney Company over the last few months, and while that will subside eventually, it doesn't look ready to stop anytime soon. A day after a couple hundred people were laid off, a significant executive at Disney has announced her departure.

What's Happening:

• Naomi Bulochnikov-Paul, Disney TV's Head of Communications, has announced she's leaving the company.
• In a memo to staff published by Variety, Bulochnikov-Paul, said she was leaving to "pursue a new opportunity."
• Bulochnikov-Paul held a variety of jobs at Disney over the last eight years, including VP of Communications at Freeform and senior vice president of publicity and communications for ABC Entertainment
• Naomi Bulochnikov-Paul leaving Disney TV now is interesting, as the division has been in the midst of a significant restructuring under New Disney Entertainment Television chairman Debra OConnell.
• However, insiders tell Variety that Bulochnikov-Paul's departure is of her own accord and not related to restructuring.
• While it's certainly likely that Bulochnikov-Paul made the decision to leave, it's certainly possible that the uncertain future inside The Wa;t idsney Company right now may have played its own part in the decision.
