Disney CEO Bob Iger is on a mission to find his successor before his contract expires in 2026. With an estimated $1 trillion in market value at stake in succession transitions, the company is under pressure to make the right choice. Internal candidates for the position include Dana Walden, Josh D’Amaro, and Kevin Mayer. However, the company may also be considering external options to bring in new insight and processes. With the future of the company at stake, experts predict that Disney may be eyeing someone from a competing content stream provider as its next chief. Ultimately, the decision will not solely rest with Iger, but instead will be made by a broad panel of decision-makers focused on the needs of the company moving forward.
