Iger Inducted as Disney Legend After Decades of Transformative Leadership
Bob Iger, former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, has been inducted as a Disney Legend for his significant impact on the company. Starting his career at ABC in 1974, Iger rose through the ranks and led Disney through major acquisitions, including Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox.
Under his leadership, Disney's media presence was reshaped, and he launched Disney+, which became profitable in 2024. He also expanded Disney's theme parks globally with new resorts in Shanghai and Abu Dhabi.
The Experiences segment of the company grew significantly under Iger, generating record revenues and setting a strong foundation for current CEO Josh D'Amaro to continue growth.
