All of his positions have been in Disney Parks, Experiences and Products where he is President of Segment Development and Enrichment now.

He helped start the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival and the Frozen Summer Fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. He also led Walt Disney World Resort during a period of substantial growth that included Pandora – The World of Avatar, Toy Story Land, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Along with his duties as President of Segment Development and Enrichment, he also is the Global Ambassador for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration. Because of this legendary man and legendary career, George A. Kalogridis now has been honored with a window on Main Street, USA at Magic Kingdom.
