Bob Iger Rejoins Thrive Capital Weeks After Passing Disney CEO Baton

In his first major move since passing the Disney CEO baton to Josh D’Amaro, Bob Iger has rejoined Thrive Capital as an advisor.

Josh Kushner, the firm’s founder, confirmed the move in a post on X. “Bob leads with boldness and conviction because he knows what he is building and why,” he wrote. “He is rejoining Thrive at a time when that kind of leadership matters most.”

In 2022, during his interregnum between stints as Disney’s chief exec, Iger joined Thrive as a venture partner. In early 2023, after rejoining Disney, he participated in an investment in the venture capital firm that was a personal one and unrelated to his duties as chief executive.
