Veteran Disney executive Kevin Lansberry, will serve as the company’s Interim CFO, effective July 1, as McCarthy steps down amid family medical leave.
Co. CFO Christine McCarthy is stepping down from her role to take a family medical leave of absence, the company said Thursday.
Veteran Disney executive Kevin Lansberry, executive VP and CFO of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, will serve as the company’s Interim CFO, effective July 1. The company will now begin an “internal and external” search for a permanent CFO, with McCarthy agreeing to serve as a “strategic advisor” during her leave, helping to onboard whomever her successor is.
“Christine McCarthy is one of the most admired financial executives in America, and her impact on The Walt Disney Company during 23 years of dedicated service cannot be overstated,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. “Christine has served as a key strategic anchor during a period of great transformation, and she and I have discussed her desire to ensure an orderly and successful CFO succession in advance of the company’s transition to its next chief executive officer.
