Overview
- CNBC reporting says the Disney board has discussed naming Dana Walden and Josh D’Amaro as co‑CEOs to succeed Bob Iger.
- Under the scenario, Iger would become executive chairman after consulting Netflix’s Ted Sarandos about that company’s co‑CEO model.
- Disney has not confirmed any decision and a spokesperson declined to comment, with a formal succession choice expected around early 2026.
- Governance experts caution that shared authority could struggle at Disney, citing internal politics and the risks of unclear lines of power.
- Supporters see dual leadership as a way to keep both contenders and avoid losing the runner‑up, even as industry chatter currently favors D’Amaro.
