Josh D’Amaro officially assumes his new role as Disney’s CEO during Wednesday’s annual shareholder meeting.
Today, D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences—which made up 57% of last year’s $17.5 billion profit—will officially succeed Bob Iger, who served as CEO for 15 years.
D’Amaro’s main goal will be to sustain momentum in Disney’s key growth sectors. The company recently made a significant investment in its theme parks, including expanding with an Abu Dhabi theme park and resort.
The new CEO will also focus heavily on its streaming service, which has achieved consecutive profitable quarters.
Disney also regained the top spot at the box office with hits like “Lilo & Stitch,” “Zootopia,” and “Avatar” in 2025.
As of Tuesday’s close, Disney’s stock has fallen more than 10% this year.
