Fubo Names Ex-Disney+ President Alisa Bowen as CEO to Drive Post-Merger Growth
FUBO sits 18% above its 52-week low of $7.95.
Summary
FuboTV appointed Alisa Bowen, former President of Disney+, as CEO effective July 10, replacing co-founder David Gandler after his 11-year tenure. Bowen brings nearly a decade of streaming leadership experience, having helped build Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. The move follows Fubo's combination with Hulu + Live TV, which made it a Disney affiliate, and signals a strategic push to leverage that relationship for subscriber growth and profitability. This leadership change comes after a period of insider selling and a proxy filing seeking shareholder approval for equity plan dilution, adding a new chapter to the company's post-merger narrative.
At the time of this announcement, FUBO was trading at $9.39 on NYSE in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $1B. The 52-week trading range was $7.95 to $56.64.
