All Eyes Will Be on Johnston
While investors and fans alike welcome any chance to hear from Disney’s CFO, Johnston’s upcoming appearance will hold extra importance as Disney is currently searching for Bob Iger’s successor, managing an ever-changing media environment, and perhaps having its most successful year at the box office ever.
As Disney’s Chief Financial Officer, Johnston reports directly to Bob Iger, leading the company’s worldwide finance organization. His purview includes corporate real estate, corporate strategy and business development, enterprise controllership, enterprise technology, financial planning and analysis, global product and labor standards, global security, investor relations, risk management, tax, and treasury.
Since joining The Walt Disney Company in November 2023, Johnston has been lauded by investors and analysts alike for the direction that Disney is currently heading in.
