Disney CEO Bob Iger said the company is hard at work to find his replacement. Here's what he had to say on that topic, and other matters, at the New York Times DealBook Summit.
Walt Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger said on Wednesday he would "definitely" step down when his current contract ends in 2026 and that the ABC broadcast network was not for sale. In a wide-ranging interview at the New York Times Dealbook Conference, Iger also said he was "bullish" on the prospects for Shanghai Disneyland and he expected the company would expand the theme park "relatively soon." Iger, 72, returned to Disney as CEO in November 2022, less than a year after he retired, to revamp the media company after the board ousted his hand-picked successor, Bob Chapek.
