Chairman / CEO
Iger has built Disney into the world’s largest media company since becoming CEO in 2005. His strategy of aggressively pursuing bold acquisitions and investing in IP reached its apex with Disney’s $71.3 billion purchase of 21st Century Fox’s core entertainment assets. Fox joins Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm on the list of storied brands brought into Disney’s franchise-creating machine on Iger’s watch. Now the company is setting its sights on OTT dominance with a Disney-
branded streaming service set to launch in 2019. His next big challenge is to help the Disney board find a successor as he prepares to step down in December 2021. Iger, who joined ABC in 1974, has signed three contract extensions since setting his initial retirement date as 2015.
