Disney CEO Bob Iger is on his second go-around of the position at the company.
Iger was CEO of the Walt Disney Company from 2005 to 2020. In 2020, Iger was replaced by Bob Chapek, however, the Board of Directors removed Chapek in November of 2022 and reinstated Iger as CEO. Since his return, conversations regarding his next successor have been paramount. His contract has already been extended once since his return, but now finding the next CEO of Disney is a top priority for him and the Board of Directors. Iger can’t last forever at Disney, and that’s why we found the 2024 Q3 earnings call to be an interesting one.
