In a recent Instagram post, Bob Iger shared that he has received the 50-year Service Award, which features Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!
“I started my career at ABC 50 years ago today and the business has certainly changed a lot since then!

Iger’s Disney Career
Bob Iger’s 50 years of Disney service began when he joined ABC in 1974. Interestingly, the network was unaffiliated with Disney for the first 21 years of his career. Things changed, however, in 1995 when Disney bought Capital Cities/ABC.

Iger would adapt well to his new surroundings, eventually working his way up the Disney corporate ladder. In 2005, he was named CEO of The Walt Disney Company, replacing the ousted Michael Eisner.
After retiring from his position in 2021, Iger returned to the helm of Disney in November 2022. His current contract extends to 2026.
