Bob Iger Vows That Picking CEO Successor Is Disney Board’s “Number One Priority”; Exec Silent On Latest Elon Musk Dust-Ups


With three years left on his current contract, Disney CEO past and present Bob Iger is feeling good about his successor, whoever that eventually turns out to be. “I’m confident we’re going to find a successor to me in due time and in the right time,” Iger told CNBC today after Disney’s latest quarterly earnings […]

Having returned to the Mouse House in November 2022 after the chaotic rule of his previously handpicked successor Bob Chapek, Iger added Wednesday that the succession committee meets regularly and finding the next CEO is probably the the board’s number one priority.” However, with Musk funding fired The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano ’s recent discrimination suit against Disney and flipping off the company on social media earlier today, there may not be much longer Iger can stay silent on the growing brouhaha. Hoping to face down the moves of activist investor Nelson Peltz and former CFO Jay Rasulo ot get on the Disney board, Iger today could not stay silent on the company’s succession situation.
