Disney+ Latin America Appoints Daniel Burman as Head of Original Content

The Walt Disney Company has selected Argentine filmmaker Daniel Burman to lead original content for Disney+ in Latin America. Burman, who previously worked with The Mediapro Studio and founded Oficina Burman, will be reporting directly to Eric Schrier, the president of Disney Television Studios & Global Original Television Strategy.

Working closely with Martín Iraola, president of The Walt Disney Company LATAM, and the senior leadership team, Burman will focus on enhancing the quality, scope, and ambition of Disney LATAM’s original productions in Latin America. This includes leading creative development, nurturing new talent, and incorporating more Latin American stories into Disney’s international lineup.

Burman’s appointment follows the recent departure of Leonardo Aranguibel from his role as VP and head of production, operations & strategy at The Walt Disney Company Latin America. The company has also transitioned to a more centralized structure, with territories now reporting directly to Burbank.

Eric Schrier praised Burman, highlighting his exceptional blend of artistic talent and strategic insight. Burman’s track record of telling compelling local stories makes him a valuable addition to Disney’s creative team in Latin America.
