Disney's newly appointed CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is set to take the helm Wednesday, succeeding Bob Iger. D'Amaro, a former parks executive, has outlined a clear strategy to leverage technology for faster franchise expansion. His primary goal is to inject new momentum into Disney's core franchises, which have struggled to boost the company's stagnant stock price.

By accelerating these franchises, D'Amaro hopes to unlock significant revenue growth and improve shareholder returns. This strategic shift marks a pivotal change in direction for the entertainment giant under its new leadership.
