"As the leader of CTDI for almost two decades, I’m incredibly proud that my team plays a significant role in transforming the landscape of the entertainment industry and the Disney culture through our work that spans across the Disney Entertainment Television (DET) portfolio. We break down barriers and close the gap for established and emerging talent—wherever they are in their careers—by connecting them to opportunities and setting them up for success in our competitive industry.

The thing I love most about our work is that we purposefully champion a multitude of voices and perspectives. We continue to iterate and scale our business, making it possible to offer wide-ranging support to underrepresented writers, directors, producers and crew by partnering with scripted and unscripted content teams across DET including 20th Television, 20th Animation, ABC Entertainment, ABC Signature, Disney Branded Television, Freeform, FX, Hulu Originals, ONYX Collective and National Geographic. We couldn’t have the impact that we continue to have without working strategically with our creative and production partners across these exceptional brands.

CTDI is profoundly invested in strengthening the talent pipeline to ensure that the stories told and championed by The Walt Disney Company reflect those of our audiences in ways that inspire and bring people together."

- Tim McNeal, Senior Vice President CTDI
