CEOs Face New Challenges: From Rivals to Sexy Brands

Josh D'Amaro, Disney's parks chief, was announced this week as the successor to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, a move that presents a unique personnel challenge: leading a former peer, Dana Walden, who was also a contender for the top job (Source 1). Meanwhile, across different sectors, from Social Security to the fashion industry, new leaders are facing their own challenges, including overhauling operations and navigating public perception (Sources 3, 4). Additionally, some job seekers are adapting to a changing job market by strategically presenting their experience, and even elite athletes are grappling with mental health challenges (Sources 2, 5).

D'Amaro's appointment comes with the task of managing a complex entertainment giant and a potentially delicate relationship with Walden, the TV and entertainment chief, who was also in the running for the CEO position (Source 1). The Fortune 500 has seen instances of internal candidates leaving companies after being passed over for the top job (Source 1).

In other leadership news, Hillary Super took the helm at Victoria's Secret in 2024, aiming to revitalize the brand after its attempts to promote female empowerment were criticized as "woke-washing" (Source 3). Super, who previously led Anthropologie and Savage X Fenty, acknowledged the brand's mixed perceptions upon joining (Source 3).

At Social Security, Frank Bisignano, a former Wall Street CEO, was appointed last spring to lead the agency, following a period of leadership instability (Source 4). Bisignano, who has since added the role of IRS CEO to his resume, has been implementing changes drawing from his private sector experience (Source 4).

The pressure of the job market is also impacting job seekers. Millennials are slimming down their resumes, reflecting only the past 10 years of experience, to avoid appearing too inexperienced or too experienced (Source 2). Even the AARP recommends age-proofing resumes (Source 2).

Elite athletes are also facing challenges. Freestyle skier Eileen Gu revealed she experienced "post-Olympic depression" after the 2022 Winter Olympics, despite winning medals (Source 5). Gu stated, "You can win the Olympics and still just enter the deepest rut of your life" (Source 5).
