He will assume the position from Mark Parker in early 2025.

Gorman will lead the board of directors of Morgan Stanley until 2024. He became a member of Disney's Succession Planning Committee in 2024.

The committee intends to reveal a new CEO in the beginning of 2026. Bob Iger is currently in charge of the company again, and his employment agreement has been prolonged until 2026 concludes.

The panel, which comprises Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, and Calvin McDonald, Head of Lululemon Athletica, is seeking a replacement for Iger from within the company as well as from external applicants.
