Philip Pratt, an executive with deep roots in content creation, is making a significant move in the streaming landscape, joining Disney+ to spearhead expansion across key European markets.

Pratt is transitioning from his current role at Amazon MGM Studios, where he currently heads original productions, to a pivotal role within the Mouse House. His new mandate will focus on overseeing original content production specifically for Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, marking a major step in Disney+’s commitment to localized storytelling.

This strategic appointment positions Pratt to guide the development of compelling content tailored for these important European territories.

Looking ahead, Pratt is set to join Disney+ early next year as a Vice President, reporting directly to Angela Jain, the EMEA content boss. This reporting structure underscores the importance of localizing content strategies within the broader European framework.

His transition signals an exciting expansion of content strategy, bringing Amazon’s production expertise directly into Disney+’s global content ecosystem. This move highlights the growing intersection between major studios and regional creative development.
