Disney has announced plans to name a new CEO to succeed Bob Iger by early 2026. The entertainment giant revealed that former Morgan Stanley CEO, James Gorman, who recently joined Disney's board, will serve as chairman and lead the search for Iger’s replacement.
Gorman, who stepped down from Morgan Stanley in 2023, has been heading Disney's Succession Planning Committee, tasked with identifying a suitable successor to Iger.
In a statement, he confirmed, "A critical priority before us is to appoint a new CEO, which we now expect to announce in early 2026. This timing reflects the progress the Succession Planning Committee and the Board are making, and will allow ample time for a successful transition before the conclusion of Bob Iger's contract in December 2026."
The search for Iger's successor has been closely watched, with many in Hollywood expecting an earlier announcement. However, the company appears focused on ensuring a seamless transition.
