Former Disney chief executive Bob Chapek told reporters that he raised concerns with the company’s board “weekly” during what he described as a power battle with returning CEO Bob Iger. Chapek made the comments while reflecting on his departure from the role of chief executive.
Chapek had assumed the Disney CEO post in early 2020 and was removed from the position in late 2022, serving less than three years before the board reinstated Iger as chief executive.
According to Chapek, the frequent communications with the board were intended to address the escalating conflict between him and Iger, though he did not specify the nature of the concerns raised.
The leadership shift marks the latest in a series of high‑profile changes at Disney, a global entertainment conglomerate whose board has overseen multiple CEO transitions in recent years, including Iger’s return after a five‑year hiatus.
No further details about the board’s response to Chapek’s weekly briefings have been disclosed, and Disney has not commented on the internal dynamics that led to the leadership change.
