Kevin Mayer, the head of direct-to-consumer and international for Walt Disney, is leaving the company to become CEO of giant TikTok. He had been considered a leading contender to succeed Bob Iger as chief executive of Disney but was passed over in favor of Bob Chapek, the former head of parks and resorts.

Mayer will also become chief operating officer of TikTok parent, giant Chinese tech group ByteDance. Both are newly created roles. He starts June 1 as the wildly popular mobile video platform contines to make major inroads in the U.S. among homebound videophiles. He will report to ByteDance founder-CEO Yiming Zhang and is charged with driving the global development of ByteDance, as well as overseeing corporate development, sales, marketing, public affairs, security, and legal. He will lead music, gaming and emerging businesses and oversee TikTok’s global expansion.

Also Rebecca Campbell takes over Mayer's Old Spot at Disney

Rebecca Campbell, whose promotion to Disney’s Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer & International on Monday put her in charge of Disney+, Hulu, Hotstar and ESPN+, took a somewhat less-traveled road to the C-suite.

During the bulk of her 23 years at the company, Campbell focused on local broadcasting, running individual stations and the ABC Owned Television Stations Group, which has stations in New York, LA and six other cities. Before taking on programming and production roles at stations in Lancaster and Allentown, PA, she attended Bloomsburg University in central Pennsylvania, and worked on a children’s program hosted by Dennis Miller on Pittsburgh’s KDKA. Those Keystone State experiences carry more than faint echoes of former Disney CEO Bob Iger’s early-career stints in Ithaca, NY and as a young studio supervisor for ABC.
