Disney Ex-CEO Eisner Says Insiders Like Iger Are Good Successors

Michael Eisner, the former chief executive officer of Walt Disney Co., said the company may want to consider internal CEO candidates to replace current leader Bob Iger when he retires in July 2019.

“I hope Bob stays for a long time,” Eisner said in a Bloomberg Radio interview. “He’s not leaving for a while. Often it is better from within than without for succession, but that’s what they’re now working on.”
