Disney CTO Aaron LaBerge Quits To Join Sports Betting Company Penn Entertainment

Disney's Aaron LaBerge.

Veteran technology leader Aaron LaBerge will step down from his role as chief technology officer of Disney Entertainment and ESPN on July 1 and will transition into a new role as CTO for sports betting company Penn Entertainment. 

The move is being spun amicably. In a memo to Disney staff, LaBerge said he's departing to assume a new role that will allow him to be “home for my family.” He also said that he’ll continue training direct report Chris Lawson, currently executive VP of content operations for Disney Entertainment and ESPN, to assume Disney's CTO role on an interim basis.
