In December 2019, the bang heard around the world, Disney-Fox merger, happened and Tanisha was brought over to Disney to work with the Diversity and Inclusion team for Walt Disney Television. There, she was able to continue her Employee Engagement work but also added Change Management to her wheel house as she led efforts to combine legacy Disney affinity groups with legacy Fox’s to create a global framework.
