Shortly thereafter, he served in a myriad of leadership roles, including as a resource manager of production for two years, a producer for the Disney World Parks and Cruise Line and the proprietor of entertainment operations for three years. He departed from the Walt Disney Company in 2018. Mr. Baker-Hargrove joined 26Health full-time in 2018, where he excelled as the co-founder, co-chief executive officer and chief operations officer until 2022.
