Disney Expands CEO Search to External Candidates, Including EA's Andrew Wilson, per WSJ
Nov 12, 2024, 03:17 PM
Disney is expanding its search for a successor to CEO Bob Iger to include external candidates. Among the names being considered is Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson, according to the Wall Street Journal. This move comes as Disney's board and new chair James Gorman look beyond internal candidates, making the succession race more open. Although Wilson is a notable contender, sources indicate he is not a frontrunner. Three outsiders are currently in the mix. The decision for Iger's replacement is expected to be made by early 2026.
