Bob Iger (Entertainment / Media) at Disney — Burbank, United States

Bob Iger served as Disney's CEO from 2005 to 2020, executing one of the greatest acquisition runs in corporate history — acquiring Pixar ($7.4B), Marvel ($4B), Lucasfilm ($4B), and 21st Century Fox ($71B). He returned as CEO in 2022 when Disney's stock and streaming losses demanded his steady hand. Iger transformed Disney from a theme park and TV company into a dominant global entertainment platform across streaming, parks, film, and merchandise.
