Anne Sweeney to Leave Disney to Pursue TV Directing

Anne Sweeney will leave Walt Disney Co. in January, the company said Tuesday, to pursue a new endeavor — TV directing.
Ms. Sweeney has spent 18 years at the Mouse House, currently serving as co-chair, Disney Media Networks and president of Disney/ABC Television Group.
“The past 18 years at Disney have been the highlight of my executive career,” Ms. Sweeney said in a statement. “I’ve been a part of an amazing evolution in our business and our industry, and have achieved far more than I ever thought possible. But as wonderful as the experience has been, there has always been a nagging voice in the back of my head pushing me to step out of the comfort zone of the executive ranks and more directly into the creative arena that enticed me to TV in the first place. I finally listened to that voice and thought, ‘if not now, when?’
