Gelonghui, February 2nd | According to informed sources, the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company has reached a consensus to promote Josh D'Amaro, Chairman of the Theme Parks Division, to the position of Chief Executive Officer, and will vote on the appointment of the new leader next week. The 54-year-old Josh D'Amaro has been in charge of Disney's core profit-generating parks business since 2020. If this appointment is approved, he will succeed Bob Iger as Disney's new CEO. Iger previously served as CEO of the world's largest entertainment company from 2005 to 2020, and returned to lead the company again in 2022. There is still a possibility that the board may change course. In an email statement, a Disney spokesperson said: "The board has not yet selected the next Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. Once a decision is made, we will announce it immediately." This appointment will also mark the end of Disney's three-year CEO selection process, which has been led by Disney board chairman James Gorman since 2024. According to informed sources, Disney CEO Iger has informed those around him that he plans to step down as CEO before his contract expires on December 31 and will no longer be involved in daily management.
