Lee Cockerell is my 110th choice to be named a Disney Legend.
Lee Cockerell is the former Executive Vice President of
Operations for the Walt Disney World Resort. "As the Senior Operating
Executive for ten years Lee led a team of 40,000 Cast Members and was
responsible for the operations of 20 resort hotels, 4 theme parks, 2 water
parks, a shopping and entertainment village and the ESPN sports and
recreation complex in addition to the ancillary operations which supported the
number one vacation destination in the world."
Lee joined the Disney organization
in July 1990 as Director of Food and Beverage and Quality Assurance for the
Disneyland Paris hotels.
One of Lee's major and lasting legacies was the creation of
Disney Great Leader Strategies which was used to train and develop the 7000
leaders at Walt Disney World. Lee has held various executive positions in the
hospitality and entertainment business with Hilton Hotels for 8 years and the
Marriott Corporation for 17 years before joining Disney in 1990 to open the
Disneyland Paris project.
