Bob Iger Receives Disney’s 50-Year Service Award: ‘Truly the Ride of a Lifetime’
Disney CEO Bob Iger has been honored with the company's 50-year Service Award.
Although Iger has technically worked for Disney only since 1995 — the year the company acquired Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. — the award recognizes his start date at ABC in 1974 as a production assistant. Iger shared an image of the Disney Service Award in an Instagram post on Monday, writing, “I started my career at ABC 50 years ago today and the business has certainly changed a lot since then! I’m proud to work alongside so many talented colleagues who create exceptional stories and experiences for the world to enjoy… truly the ride of a lifetime!”
