Every woman and non-binary technologist at Disney is essential to bringing our world-class stories and immersive experiences to life. Their unique and diverse perspectives foster our culture of innovation, collaboration, and inclusion.

Disney is committed to celebrating the diversity women and non-binary people bring to the technology industry. One example is Business Employee Resource Groups (BERGs). The Women + Tech BERG builds community, provides support, and recognizes the representation its members bring to a male-dominated industry.

Meet some of the women and non-binary technologists at The Walt Disney Company who are passionate about the industry and committed to helping us set the standard for what is possible in technology!

Tiffany, Manager, Security Architecture, Enterprise Technology"Disney has such an expansive breadth of tech: ride and attraction technologies, reliable WIFI networks that cover acres and acres of land, cutting-edge virtual and augmented reality tech. The list goes on and on. People don’t usually think of Disney as ‘big tech,’ but we have to innovate and build custom, constantly. No one else is doing the things that Disney does. We are often carving the path and are the vanguard for new frontiers."

 

Rachel, Lead Product Manager, Disney Experiences Technology & Digital

Rachel, Lead Product Manager, Disney Experiences Technology & Digital“As a Lead Product Manager, I am immersed in commercial strategy to deliver magic to our guests through product launches and offers. On a daily basis, I create the tech behind the magic by evaluating market trends and technical levels of effort on opportunities in our pipeline against business value and impact. Then, I create a strategic roadmap and delivery plan that compliments ongoing efforts and is responsive to the market.”
