The succession process was managed by James Gorman, the veteran Wall Street banker who was recruited to serve on Disney's board in 2024. Gorman led the succession planning committee after the company's previous CEO transition, which ended with Bob Chapek's ouster in 2022.

Dana Walden, who currently oversees Disney's television and streaming units, has been named president and chief creative officer effective March 18. Walden was widely viewed as one of the other top contenders for the CEO role alongside D'Amaro.

D'Amaro's promotion from parks chief to CEO is a risky repeat of the Chapek disaster that nearly sank Disney. The experiences division can only squeeze so much more money from fans through relentless price hikes, and D'Amaro lacks the Hollywood relationships and streaming expertise needed to compete in today's media landscape. Disney's stock has tanked under Iger's watch, and handing the reins to another parks guy shows the board learned nothing from past mistakes.

D'Amaro earned the CEO role by delivering record profits and turning Disney's experiences division into a powerhouse that generates 60% of company earnings. His nearly three decades at Disney prove deep institutional knowledge, and his leadership during the post-pandemic recovery demonstrates the operational excellence needed to navigate AI disruption and industry consolidation. A rigorous succession process led by James Gorman ensures this transition will succeed where Chapek failed.
