Disneyland president Thomas Mazloum will succeed Josh D’Amaro. This just in! The Walt Disney Co. has found the next chief executive for its lucrative and important experiences division. The company says that Thomas Mazloum, currently president of the Disneyland Resort, will become chairman of Disney Experiences. He succeeds Josh D’Amaro, who’ll take over as Disney’s CEO next week in connection with the company’s annual meeting.
“Thomas Mazloum is an exceptional leader with a genuine appreciation for our cast members and a proven track record of delivering growth,” said D’Amaro in a statement. “His focus on service excellence, broad international leadership, and strong connection to the creativity that brings our stories to life make him the right leader to guide Disney Experiences into its next chapter.”
Mazloum will officially succeed D’Amaro next Wednesday, the same day that Bob Iger hands the keys to the kingdom to the next generation of leadership.
Mazloum has only been in the job at Disneyland for a bit over a year, taking over operations of Walt Disney’s original theme park last January.
“As we look ahead, I have tremendous confidence in Thomas and in the leaders stepping into these roles — Jill, Tasia, and Lisa — along with the incredible leadership team across Disney Experiences,” D’Amaro added. “Together, they will continue to build on our momentum around the world, delivering the service, creativity and one-of-a-kind experiences that define Disney.”
Disney’s experiences division, of course, is one of the things that separates the entertainment giant from the rest of the competition in the media business. It includes theme parks in California, Florida, France, China and Japan, a large and growing cruise ship line, a vacation club and planned communities, and luxury travel experiences.
What do you think of this announcement? We have met Thomas Mazloum, he has that same warmth and charm as Josh. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!
