Dick Cook resigns from Walt Disney Studios
18Sep2009 Filed under: Disney, Media, Movies, Walt Disney Company Author: MarcSo it seams that the chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, Dick Cook is stepping down effective today. In a statement Dick said: “I am stepping down from my role as chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, effective immediately.” This leaves the question, who takes his place?
Disney CEO and president Bob Iger released this statement in response: “Throughout his distinguished 38-year Disney career, Dick Cook’s outstanding creative instincts and incomparable showmanship have truly enriched th
is company and significantly impacted Disney’s great legacy,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger. “We thank Dick for his tremendous passion for Disney, and his many accomplishments and contributions to The Walt Disney Studios, including a very promising upcoming film slate. On behalf of everyone at Disney, we wish him the best with all the future has to offer.”
Recent reports have now said that Disney is now reporting that he is still working there.
This brings three questions to me.
1. Did he resign, quit, or was he forced to resign?
2. As I said earlyer, who takes over?
3. After giving a great presntation at the D23 expo last week, why resign?
