Board & Leadership

Paul Oppedisano has 36 years of experience in marketing, strategic planning and business development.

Paul retired from the Disney Experiences division of the Walt Disney Company after 24 years. While at Disney, he led teams focused on marketing strategy and planning, CRM initiatives, and data/analytic studies in support of Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line and Annual Passholder programs. Throughout his career, Paul was also lucky enough to partner with marketing partners at each of Disney’s international theme parks to share global best practices across the sites. He also had the good fortune to be the first leader of the Premium Services business at Walt Disney World where he led development of the business plan, construction, staffing, and launch of the Club 33 membership program.

Prior to joining Disney, Paul’s early career saw him managing marketing programs for brands such as Brawny paper towels, Vanity Fair napkins and Dixie cups and plates and at the Ladies Professional Golf Association which is the role that brought him to Florida.

Paul holds a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Arts degree in government relations from the University of Notre Dame.

Paul has lived in Central Florida for over 30 years and is passionate about supporting community building programs in our hometown, especially in the amazing arts community we have in Orlando. He has served on several non-profit boards and currently sits on the board of the Friends of Leu Gardens. Paul has participated in both Leadership Orlando and the Mayor’s Academy. He tries to find as much time as possible to travel to new parts of the world, always has a stack of books ready to read, and enjoys bringing friends to local gems like Dubsdread golf course, Winter Park boat tour, and East End Market.
