After less than two years as Hulu’s president, Kelly Campbell has left the Disney-controlled streaming service.
Campbell’s sudden departure was announced to staff by Rebecca Campbell, Disney’s chairman of international operations and direct-to-consumer, who said that Kelly was no longer with Hulu “effective immediately” but did not provide a specific reason.
Kelly Campbell’s direct reports at Hulu will report to Rebecca Campbell (the two are not related) until a replacement is named for the position.
In a LinkedIn post about leaving Hulu, Kelly Campbell did not provide clues about where she is headed next. “Four years ago I accepted my dream job when I joined Hulu. And it didn’t disappoint. I worked with the best of the best, in a values-driven culture full of the most talented people around,” she wrote. “While I’ve made the decision to move on from Hulu, I’ll forever bleed green.
