Disney (DIS) is set to get a new executive team as long-time CEO Bob Iger, who returned from his retirement to take charge once again in late 2022, hangs up his spurs today, March 18. He would hand the baton to Josh D’Amaro, an insider who was formerly the chairman of Disney Experiences.
The company has also created a new post for president and chief creative officer, which would be headed by Dana Walden, who would report directly to D’Amaro. Walden has announced a new leadership team that would bring the company’s film, streaming, television, and games businesses under her. She has named Debra OConnell as the chairman of Disney Entertainment Television. OConnell would oversee the television brands and Hulu Originals, alongside overseeing ABC News and the television stations owned by ABC.
