The Walt Disney Company is entering a bold new chapter. Starting March 18, 2026, Josh D’Amaro will officially take the reins as Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Bob Iger. This leadership transition marks the end of Iger’s second stint at the helm, handing control to D’Amaro, who previously served as the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

In a move to unify its vast media empire, Dana Walden has been appointed as the President and Chief Creative Officer of The Walt Disney Company. Walden will oversee a newly consolidated entertainment segment that brings together streaming services like Disney+ and Hulu with the company's film, television, and games businesses. This restructuring aims to streamline content creation and distribution under one unified leadership team.

The changes represent one of the most significant reorganizations in the company’s history. By merging these departments, Disney looks to maximize efficiency across its global portfolio. The new structure, which officially launches on March 18, is designed to better integrate creative output with the company's technological and streaming platforms as the industry continues to evolve.
