Overview
- Paley announced on Thursday, May 28, 2026 that it appointed a slate of new trustees and Los Angeles governors including Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro, Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki and Liberty Media CEO Derek Chang.
- Imagine Entertainment co-founder Brian Grazer and Publicis Connected Media CEO Dave Penski were named to the Paley Los Angeles Board of Governors to strengthen local industry ties.
- The broader trustee list adds executives from Spotify, TikTok USDS, Verizon and Microsoft/Xbox and joins an existing board that already includes leaders such as Eddy Cue, Ted Sarandos, Neal Mohan, Roger Goodell and Lachlan Murdoch.
- Paley chair Frank A. Bennack Jr. and CEO Maureen J. Reidy said the refresh will help the nonprofit engage with the companies shaping distribution, gaming and platform-driven content, and D’Amaro and Totoki issued statements aligning their companies’ priorities with Paley’s mission.
- The move comes as Paley prepares for its 50th anniversary and reflects the long-standing role of its boards as a bridge between the museum’s public programming and the commercial media businesses that influence how audiences find and consume content.
