Josh D'Amaro will become the new CEO of the Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday, succeeding longtime chief executive Bob Iger at the helm of the century-old media and entertainment company.
D'Amaro, 55, will officially start as CEO after Disney's annual shareholder meeting, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET today. He steps into the lead role after more than 25 years at the entertainment company, where he has held roles in finance, business strategy, marketing, creative development and operations.
When Disney announced his appointment as CEO in February, D'Amaro said he was excited to honor Disney's "remarkable legacy" while continuing to innovate and grow the company. Iger served as CEO from 2005 to 2020 and again from 2022 until March 2026.
D'Amaro will be in charge of a massive entertainment empire that recorded more than $90 billion in annual revenue in fiscal 2025, with businesses that include theme parks, cruises, movies and a streaming service.
As CEO, D'Amaro will need to leverage Disney's vast intellectual property portfolio to create new movies and theme park additions, while also driving streaming growth and continuing to build its sports business.
