The Walt Disney Company has named a head for the committee responsible for finding a successor to CEO Bob Iger (again).
Iger, who returned for a second run as CEO after his first successor (Bob Chapek) was fired. In a recent interview, he discussed the need for a new successor, and admitted to being obsessed with the search.
Now, the committee responsible for the search has leadership. James Gorman of Morgan Stanley, and a recent addition to the Board of Directors at Disney, will head the hunt.
Rumors indicate that the search has been narrowed down to four internal candidates: Dana Walden, Jimmy Pitaro, Alan Bergman, and Josh D’Amaro. The process for selection is said to include mentorship and coaching with Iger and members of the board.
Iger is set to step down in 2026, though his contract has already been extended once since his return.
