The Walt Disney Company is reportedly close to naming Thomas Mazloum chairman of its parks, cruises and consumer products division. According to a report by Bloomberg, Josh D’Amaro is close to selecting Mazloum as his successor to lead Disney Experiences.

According to Bloomberg, an announcement could come as soon as this week. Mazloum has run Disneyland Resort since March 2025 as Disneyland President.

As President of Disneyland Resort, Thomas Mazloum currently leads 36,000 cast members and all areas of the business, including Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, three resort hotels and the Downtown Disney District.

Mazloum began his Disney career in 1998 as a hotel director for Disney Cruise Line and later ran Disney Signature Experiences, which includes Disney Vacation Club, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney and more. He was also Senior Vice President of Operations at Walt Disney World, overseeing 31 Disney resort hotels, as well as Disney Springs, ESPN Wide World of Sports and transportation operations.

Josh D’Amaro is succeeding Bob Iger as Disney’s chief executive officer, as Iger steps down on March 18 at the company’s annual meeting.

Disney is committing $60 billion to expand its resorts division, a plan that includes nearly doubling its cruise fleet and introducing major additions like an Avatar-themed land at Disney California Adventure Park, Piston Peek National Park and Villains Land in the Magic Kingdom.

The Disney Experiences segment employs more than 185,000 people worldwide and delivered nearly $10 billion in operating income last year — accounting for over half of the company’s total earnings.
