Disney Finds a New CEO to Replace Bob Iger

Following the announcement of Bob Iger‘s departure as Disney CEO, the company has named Josh D’Amaro as his replacement. Currently in charge of Disney’s theme parks and consumer products, D’Amaro will officially become CEO at Disney’s annual meeting on March 18th. Iger will then transition to a senior advisory role and remain on the Disney board until his retirement at the end of 2026.

According to Bob Iger, Josh D’Amaro is the ideal choice to be the next CEO. Iger praised D’Amaro’s natural feel for the Disney brand and his strong grasp of what appeals to viewers. He also highlighted D’Amaro’s ability to successfully manage and deliver complex projects through a combination of creative vision and careful execution, expressing excitement for both D’Amaro’s future and the company’s.

Okay, so I was just looking into how much the new CEO is getting paid, and wow, it’s a lot! His base salary is $2.5 million a year, but get this – he could earn a bonus up to 2.5 times that amount based on performance. Plus, every year he’s CEO, he’s also getting a stock incentive worth a whopping $26.2 million! Seriously, that’s a huge amount of money, so congratulations to him, I guess!
