Disney names parks and cruises boss Josh D’Amaro as next CEO

D'Amaro will take over next month from Bob Iger, who returned to lead the media company after a bungled succession

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.

Bob Iger, who led the media giant for 15 years, stepped down in 2020 - only to abruptly return in 2022 when his handpicked successor, Bob Chapek, was fired as the company came under pressure.
