Disney Parks Chairman D'Amaro Mentioned Among Possible Successors to CEO Iger
Josh D’Amaro, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman, could become the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
The company on Sunday announced Bob Iger was returning to lead Disney as CEO, replacing Bob Chapek. Iger will work closely with Disney’s board to recruit the next person to lead the company after his two-year stint.
Now D’Amaro could be next in line, according to reports.
D’Amaro recently spoke at Skift Global Forum, where he discussed how the company will continue to thrive and push boundaries around storytelling and experiences.
Meanwhile, Reuters said Dana Walden, a former Fox television executive who leads Disney's General Entertainment Content group, was another potential internal candidate.
Whoever takes over, a big challenge will be managing Disney+, the brand's all-in streaming video strategy, according to Reuters.
