Disney has unveiled Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO, drawing a line under a bungled succession at the top of the global entertainment conglomerate. D’Amaro has been chair of the Disney’s experiences since 2020, running its theme parks and cruise ships – effectively the same job as Chapek before his ill-fated stint as CEO of the company. On Tuesday, Iger hailed D’Amaro as “an exceptional leader and the right person to become our next CEO”. D’Amaro will take up the job in March, Disney said. Disney is one of the biggest media and entertainment empires in the world, having acquired Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and most of 21st Century Fox under Iger.
