Walt Disney Company Appoints Josh D'Amaro As CEO Following Leadership Transition

The Walt Disney Company is undergoing a major leadership transition rather than a funding raise, as longtime executive Josh D'Amaro officially becomes CEO, succeeding Bob Iger following a nearly three-year succession process. The change, effective March 18, comes alongside a broader executive reorganization, including Dana Walden stepping into a newly created chief creative role and Thomas Mazloum taking over Disney Experiences. While no new capital raise was announced, D'Amaro inherits a company investing heavily in growth initiatives such as a $60 billion expansion across parks and experiences, positioning Disney to navigate industry shifts in AI, streaming, and global tourism.
