News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

[Splash4eva]

It's pretty clear that Iger was trying more to be a Steve Jobs-type figure rather than a Walt Disney.

He failed there also ….

Any insight on how to listen? The meeting is requiring a 16 digit control number and I'm only seeing a 12 digit control number listed

Break it up!!

(So that the parts that aren't giving double digit stock growth can go die on the vine somewhere else.)

I mean some people like having the stock valued right around the same level that it was 15 years ago.

Strict requirement to enter Disney parks will require all of us to wear tight pants and big smiles!

Came up quite a bit short…and remember jobs was pretty heavy disaster until iTunes and a phone…bobs got Dubai…with the “incredibles drone experience” (too soon? Too real?)

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Bob wanted desperately to be seen as a 'tech guy', like his corporate hero, Steve Jobs. Josh appears to be wrapping his arms around the same aspirations. I guess that old, bitter guy who advised him recently to focus on the creative side as well doesn't know what he's talking about. Disney = supercharged tech, baby!

Absolutely no changes whatsoever. Who could have predicted that?

So, what global catastrophe is Iger masterminding in order to be asked to come back and be CEO again?

Holy crap…if even you are catching on…we’re in bad shape here

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Alright gang, what’ll be the first move that D’Amaro will do that’ll make everyone hate him and wanting Iger back

No no no…that’s not how this goes…

Current guy is gonna be celebrated for tying his shoes…

Last guy…Will be picked apart like a piece of roadkill…

Watch it play

I mean some people like having the stock valued right around the same level that it was 15 years ago.

Two types of people:
1. Non-investors
2. Those who are not committed enough as fans…who breeze through parks or a cruise ship once every 3-5 years…oblivious to the actual health of the products
Not dedicated at all

Isn’t that like 80% of the people who visit Disney?

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

The office of the president of Parks and Resorts is in the TDB building right? The implication that Josh has never been on the lot before is quite bizarre.

Its not really implying that at all. I think the intention is to welcome him onto the lot for his first day as The guy. I was thrown a welcome party when I got promoted at work even though I’d been there before. I was being welcomed to a new office and new responsibility.

I hope for your works sake you’re more qualified than Joshie is

 

[Brer Panther]

Still cautiously optimistic. Though I still don't expect to see any improvements until Iger is out the door.

 

[WaltsTreasureChest]

I don’t want any of Igers input on anything anymore
