Disney’s Bob Iger Makes Me Dis “Bambi”: The Full D9 Interview (Video)

Bob Iger

President and CEO
The Walt Disney Company

Iger has served as president and chief executive officer at Disney for several years, having previously served as president and chief operating officer, president of Walt Disney International, and Chairman of ABC. Prior to putting on the mouse ears, Iger held a series of increasingly responsible positions at ABC, Inc. and its predecessor Capital Cities/ABC, Inc., culminating in service as president of the ABC Network Television Group and then president and chief operating officer of ABC, Inc.
