Robert (Bob) Iger, 72, is a media executive who serves as the chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company (for the second time).

Quotes: “Even though I started off being interested in news, and I spent 13 years of my career working in television sports, I always was passionate about television and movies.” | “Success can breed all kinds of other behavior and cause companies to behave a certain way that isn’t necessarily the ingredients for achieving more success. For instance, with success comes arrogance, and that’s typically the death of success.”
