Bob Iger CEO of Disney is stepping down

by

Disney announced in early February that D’Amaro would be the company’s next CEO — and that he would take over the role earlier than originally expected. The hand-off was made during the Annual Meeting on March 18, 2026.

“The most important part of Disney will always be the people,” D’Amaro said in a social media message after the announcement. “I have had the pleasure of working with tens of thousands of Cast, Imagineers and employees over the years… and it is because of them and the millions of Disney fans around the world that I am humbled and honored for the opportunity to lead this extraordinary company.”

The decision was made with a unanimous vote by Disney’s Board of Directors on February 2. The Board also intends to appoint D’Amaro as a director immediately following the Annual Meeting.
