CNBC
Bob Iger is stepping aside as Josh D'Amaro, who previously served as chairman of Disney's experiences division, takes over as CEO.
Disney is turning the page on a new chapter as Josh D'Amaro steps in as CEO of the media and theme park powerhouse.
D'Amaro most recently served as chairman of Disney Experiences, which includes the company's theme parks, cruise line, resorts and consumer products. He will officially succeed Bob Iger as chief executive during the company's annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday.
The longtime Disney executive takes over after a period of uncertainty for the century-old company — including a closely watched succession race and a recent reorganization and turnaround — that has left it with a mixed reception from Wall Street.
