Bob Iger

Bob Iger is the former CEO of The Walt Disney Company. He initially led the company for 15 years before stepping down in 2020 and being succeeded by Bob Chapek. However, Chapek was later fired, and Iger returned to the CEO position in 2022. Recently, Disney announced that Josh D'Amaro, previously chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, will succeed Iger as CEO, effective March 18th. This marks the end of Iger's second stint as CEO and concludes what has been described as a 'bungled succession' at the company. D'Amaro's appointment comes at a time when Disney is making significant investments in areas like AI, as evidenced by their recent $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and expanding its theme park experiences, such as the new 'Frozen' area at Disneyland Paris.
