The Walt Disney Company has had a real-life Succession drama going on for the last couple of years. Ever since Bob Iger returned as CEO, it was clear his tenure would be brief, and he was really only holding things together for the next CEO. We now know that person is Josh D’Amaro.

The exec is said to have strong relationships with Disney's creative team, an appetite for risk-taking, and a desire to understand what the entertainment giant's loyal fans want.
