To the shock of many, The Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Chapek, was removed from his CEO position in November 2022. Former Disney CEO Bob Iger returned to the captainโs wheel in an attempt to correct the wayward course of the beloved company.
In 2022, The Walt Disney Company was at the center of disagreements with the state of Florida, controversial political stances, theme park price hikes, disgruntled Cast Members, a declining entertainment industry, low stock reports, and more… a change was needed.
Here entered Bob Iger in hopes of correcting Chapekโs mistakes after Iger diagnosed Disney as losing its soul. From firing to hirings, The Walt Disney Company shake-up is officially underway.
