Disney Is Starting to Look for a New CEO To Replace Bob Iger
In November of 2022, Bob Iger returned as CEO, replacing Bob Chapek after just 11 months of being away from Disney. At the time, it was said that Bob Iger would only be in the role for a limited amount of time. Now, Disney is officially starting the hunt for a new CEO.
To find the new CEO, Disney has hired James P. Gorman to oversee the search. Recently, Gorman oversaw the succession process at Morgan Stanley.
Disney already realized that they were losing a lot of money with their woke agenda...
May more qualified people be in charge of the company to bring us quality content.
The technological angle is much bigger than woke and COVID lockdowns. I had a lot of debates about this.
It is why shifting away from that isnt going to fix anything.
But everything also depends on the finances of the entrepreneurs.
If they persist in "supporting" these works... More and more people will distance themselves from Disney.
I canceled it myself at the time because I was paying for something that I didn't watch anymore, anything interesting. Now with the sports that the platform has combined with Star+, I think I'll subscribe to Disney again.
“James is a highly respected leader, and we’ve asked him to serve as the new Chair of the Succession Planning Committee given his deep succession planning experience and long-term strategic mentality,” said Parker, who most recently served as the Committee’s Chair. “Succession planning is a top priority of the Board, and I am eager to continue collaborating with James on the Committee as we advance the important work we have already been doing to identify and prepare the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company.”
Gorman will lead a committee that will include Disney’s directors Mary T. Barra and Calvin R. McDonald. All members of this new committee to find someone to replace the Disney CEO have direct experience in CEO and senior leadership succession planning for Fortune 500 companies.
