Media and entertainment giant Disney (NYSE:DIS), which is searching to find a replacement to succeed chief executive Bob Iger early next year, has considered a co-CEO structure like Netflix (NFLX) and Spotify (SPOT), according to
Quick Insights
A co-CEO arrangement could generate power struggles, particularly if Iger remains as executive chairman, undercutting the authority of new leaders because of his strong lingering influence and history of indecision over retirement.
Walden’s Hollywood expertise and D’Amaro’s experience with consumer products and theme parks offer complementary skill sets that could create a balanced leadership team.
Disney’s candidates lack a shared working history and the company has a politicized culture, contrasting with Netflix’s collaborative co-CEO experience, potentially making implementation more challenging.
