Fernando Beltran brings 20 years of experience as a leader in the Disney organization plus the business savvy of an entrepreneur in the financial services industry to every Disney Institute program he facilitates.

In his first Disney leadership role as a Stage Manger, Fernando was part of a dynamic team of leaders responsible for the scheduling and daily operation of the cast and crew of multiple live shows and events at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™. For the better part of the next 15 years, he gained diverse experience and developed strong skills as a Manager and Leader in the Entertainment organization which led from Stage Manager to Production Manager and finally to Team Leader. In these leadership roles, Fernando added value throughout the Entertainment organization by developing and managing the production teams of live shows, parades and special events at all four Walt Disney World® Theme Parks and across the United States, and leading the largest convention entertainment team at a Walt Disney World® park, which was responsible for delivering over 1,000 successful events per year. With his extensive entertainment background and Spanish speaking ability, Fernando was also responsible for leading production teams in Argentina and Brazil presenting live Disney shows throughout that region.

Fernando has also been part of the Walt Disney World® Casting Services team where he served for over two years as a Recruiter interviewing and selecting right-fit talent for the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Beyond Disney, Fernando has been successful in acquiring various licenses and certifications in the financial services industry including mortgage broker, securities/investment, and life insurance licenses issued by the State of Florida. This has allowed him to expand his passion for customer service as a financial coach along with delivering financial training programs and customized client presentations for a Fortune 500 financial services company.

Now as a Business Programs Facilitator, Fernando has the perfect platform for using all his skills and experience, combined with his multiple passions for technology, innovation, learning, teaching and personal development in the service of Disney Institute Clients.
