"I worked at Disney for about 15 years - from 2008 to 2016 and again from 2018 to 2024. I feel like I did pretty much everything. I started out as a sales intern doing corporate events on-site at Disney. Then I transferred into hospitality, global projects, and finally retail technology, where I worked on mobile merchandise checkout and mobile order tech."
"In several of my roles, whether as an event project manager or during my time doing cast experience, I reported directly to Josh D'Amaro. When I saw that he was chosen to be Disney's next CEO, it really hit home. Disney is a massive company, and to see him go from laser-focused on the operations of a theme park to becoming CEO is inspiring."
"He led with common sense and was never too big to take input from other people. Even when I think about his transition between roles over the years, he seemed to be able to balance being aware of how his transition affected the people that worked for him while still reporting properly to shareholders and maintaining a public image. He does it all while seeming cool, calm, and collected."
Heir Jordan spent about 15 years at Disney across roles from sales intern to retail technology and reported directly to Josh D'Amaro in several positions. Josh D'Amaro advanced through Disney for nearly 30 years, moving from theme-park operations into executive leadership. D'Amaro leads with common sense, calmness, and openness to input, balancing employee impact with shareholder responsibilities and public presentation. He maintains visibility, presents himself well, and combines personable interactions with strong business acumen. Jordan finds D'Amaro's leadership inspiring and attributes his success to both character and operational skill.
