Robert Iger Returns As Disney CEO 

  • Disney pulled a surprising move over the weekend, firing CEO Bob Chapek and bringing back former CEO Robert Iger to replace him.
  • Iger previously ran Disney from 2005 until his retirement in 2020, a highly successful period for the company.
  • Chapek departs after two shaky years at the helm – a Nov. 8th earnings report showed Disney’s stock price down 41 percent since January, while its streaming division lost $1.5 billion in the last year.
