Disney names new chair, new CEO in "early 2026"

Posted | Contributed by GoBucks89

Disney said on Monday that it would name a new chief executive in “early 2026,” which is later than many in Hollywood had expected.

The timeline — the first Disney has described publicly — came as part of a board shake-up. James P. Gorman, a veteran Wall Street banker who joined the board in February, will become Disney’s chairman on Jan. 2, 2025, the company said. He will replace Mark G. Parker, who will step down after two years in the role and leave the Disney board entirely.

The board rooms of large organisations are always fascinating to me. Arguably some of what goes on with Disney is more compelling than some of their recent releases.

I am currently re-reading DisneyWar. The company has always sounded like a bit of a basket case.


Nothing to see here. Move along.

It’s a constant battle for power and title, no different than any other facet of society.
