Some perfect choices for CEO

[Disney Irish]

Tom Staggs was described by the Huffington Post as "an oddly waifish man of anemic personality".

Ouch.

If the Huffington Post had put that in print about me, I would probably go into hiding. Which is what Tom Staggs appears to have done.

I'm not at all convinced there is anyone on Disney's Burbank campus that can take over succesfully. The kids seem to like Kevin Fiege (sp?), and I agree that a creative type desperately needs to take over. But it seems to me that if Disney is to right its ship and survive further into the 21st century, they need to look beyond Burbank right now for senior leadership.

Because what they've been doing for the past couple years isn't working.

I didn't realize that the "Huff Post" was the determining factor on how effective someone would be as the Chief Executive of a company. Especially when said article is no longer available, and was an opinion piece.

Personally I have no issues with Staggs, if he is the right person for the job then let him have it, even if is a "waifish man of anemic personality".

And he isn't in hiding. He is currently Co-CEO with Kevin Mayer (another former Disney Executive who I could have seen as CEO of TWDC) of Forest Road Acquisition an investment firm. He's just not in the lime light anymore which is why he isn't in the media much anymore.

I wish it was Tom Staggs, but he's not working at Disney anymore. This Youtuber named Orangegrove55 suggested Peter Rice the Chairman of Disney General Entertainment Content to be the next CEO of Disney. I don't know how good he is, but if that's the case, I hope so.

I’d say either Joshua D’Aramo or Alan Bergman would fit best.
As for the interim CEO, if Chapek is fired, Susan B Arnold could have to take the reins for a bit until a permanent CEO is installed.

Many insiders are reporting that emergency and contingency plans have been created to appoint a new CEO if the need should arise. This should get interesting if a huge controversy leads to him being ousted.

Disney touted subscriber gains and growth ahead but insiders have been speculating about CEO Bob Chapek's missteps, how he can keep his job, and who might replace him

While the Disney board has given no indication it will replace CEO Bob Chapek, his contract has yet to be renewed as he battles his own messaging gaffes, Florida's governor, and predecessor Bob Iger's legacy.

CEO doesn't matter at this point, Disney has become fully WOKE and is not going to stop.

No idea what the board of directors are doing or thinking but Disney as a business is falling apart, Movie business is in a big decline, streaming service will stop gaining customers soon. Parks are the only good looking numbers at the moment. ESPN isn't do well either but people seem to have forgotten about that wing of the business?

I hate to say this, but you’re right! Because of the woke agenda, the politics will shut down the whole Disney and the Disney Parks. Disney will go bankrupt and Disney will be gone forever and it’s Bob Chapek and Bob Iger’s fault! I hate the 2020’s!

TWDC isn't going anywhere.
