Meow Wolf CEO Jose Tolosa is stepping down, and former Disney executive and board member Rebecca Campbell is taking on the role of interim CEO.
Tolosa, who joined Meow Wolf in late 2021, will leave the company at the end of April after leading it through a period of expansion and evolution.
From 1 May, Campbell will serve as interim CEO while an external search is conducted. Tolosa will remain through the end of May to support the transition.
During his tenure, Meow Wolf opened two exhibitions in Grapevine and Houston. The company also secured future locations in Los Angeles and New York.
Additionally, Tolosa oversaw the launch of the Meow Wolf app, and introduced a new digital layer to enhance guest engagement.
Internally, Tolosa helped to recruit a new executive team, formalised operations, and implemented employee programmes including performance reviews and a bonus structure.
Meow Wolf ‘poised for magical future’
“Leading Meow Wolf through this phase of transformation has been the greatest honor of my professional life,” said Tolosa.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and I’m confident the company is poised for an even more magical and mind-expanding future.
“With a strong foundation now in place, I’m proud to pass the baton and excited for what’s next – for Meow Wolf and for me.”
Campbell, who joined the Meow Wolf board in January 2024, brings more than 25 years’ experience from the Walt Disney Company.
At Disney, she held several leadership roles, including president of Disneyland Resort and president of the Walt Disney Company in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“Meow Wolf’s bold creativity and community spirit are what drew me in from the start,” said Campbell.
“I’m honored to support the team through this transition and excited to help build on the incredible foundation already in place.”
