Yeah Eisner and Wells were not both CEO, but the sentiment is still the same. Disney could split the CEO role into co-CEOs, many companies are doing that these days.

Who should be Iger’s successor in 2024?

Indeed they should again…
They need like a “production” Guy and a “brand reinforcement” guy…
One the Hollywood dude and the other the money power broker.
Iger fancied himself both and in the end can’t hold it.
I want like Scott stuber and someone…maybe Adam silver does make a little sense?
Well, who do you think should be the next CEO of Disney?
It's not Iger's choice, but the Board's.
If in the past, the Board deferred to Iger... not any more. They publicly declared they have a headhunting subcommittee and a timeline.
Tho, all bets are off if Disney stock is in the 160s in two years. Then Wall Street won't give a damn about who's the CEO any more.

I think you definitely need more than one. It’s gotten way too big and the company operated best with a division of labor at the top. Too unwieldy.
And you need some people in that - aghast
- the gen X range……that can balance the cynicism that is growing (it’s like our medium…true masters)
Who that is? Not sure…
NOT a techie…at least not alone.

Or we can get to it and recognize alot if not all the board needs the door…
Because it’s all Iger stoolies or techs types from the jobs period that have shown to be creatively void.
The board has been lacking for at least 10-15 years.
No succession plan were grounds for replacement alone. The consequences are on record now. They are not in a good spot in any segment.

A cult of personality. I guess we will see if it will be more of the same or not.

There were also rumblings that she would co-lead The Walt Disney Company with Alan Bergman. How about that?

No, but I don’t think someone from the parks division should be in charge of Disney overall, not after Bob Chapek's short, infamous tenure as CEO.
He was not a parks guy either. He was a consumer products guy and The Parks were.lumoed.into that, one of the worst things to happen to the resorts because they treated them like a marketed product rather than a service.
Universal did it right in the eyes of a theme park oriented business and fandom, they have a CEO of Comcast willing to experiment with investments and the chairman of the parks and resorts has been the top parks creative guy for decades.
