Here's some more information, not included in the article, on the newest CEO of the Walt Disney Company. Nine years younger than Bob Iger, like many people of that era, his father was a veteran of WWII. And for all you Hoosiers out there, he's a Hoosier. Before coming to the Company, he worked for J. Heinz Company and J. Walter Thompson. This is his 26th year with the Company founded by Walt Disney. He has been married to his wife for 40 years, and they have 3 children and 3 grandchildren.

Since the posted article states that he's the 7th CEO, who were the other 6, and when were they the CEO?

Roy O. Disney (1929-1971)
Don Tatum (1971-1976)
Card Walker (1976-1983)
Ron W. Miller (1983-1984)
Michael Eisner (1984-2005)
Bob Iger (2005-2020)

And how many did you know?
