Bob Iger Named by Fortune as a Top Tech Visionary

Bob Iger has been named a Top Tech Visionary by Fortune Magazine. In the report, the magazine has this to say about the Disney CEO: “Iger’s legacy at Disney will always include his plays for intellectual property: He bought Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, and Lucasfilm. But in 2013, he made a bold play for digital-first content, paying almost $1 billion for Maker Studios, a multi-channel network which runs a number of popular YouTube channels. Beyond his M&A efforts, Iger will be personally involved in Disney’s new startup accelerator, which will seek to infuse the organization with an entrepreneurial spirit.”
