Full, extensive article on Chapek and his disruptions/many failings here but the key takeaways are:
“The pressure is on Disney CEO Bob Chapek, whose contract is up early next year
Chapek and CEO Bob Iger’s relationship soured after Iger gave comments to The New York Times about wanting to help Chapek run the company during the pandemic.
Several employees have called Iger to express their dissatisfaction with Chapek over his response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Chapek centralized budget power under his right-hand man, Kareem Daniel, a move that irritated several Disney veterans – as well as Iger.
Like Iger, Chapek and Daniel want to speed up the pace of Disney’s digital transformation.”
I don't currently have any positions in Disney as of August last year.
