Disney's board unanimously named Josh D'Amaro, the parks chief, as CEO, with Dana Walden promoted to president and chief creative officer to oversee creative strategy; Bob Iger will remain an advisor through 2026. The move pairs D'Amaro's operations-focused background with Walden's Hollywood clout, ending a drawn-out succession process and aiming to balance brand stewardship with content leadership as Disney navigates streaming, film, and theme parks. D'Amaro's initial compensation is about $38 million and Walden's about $24 million.
