Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro told CNBC's Julia Boorstin on Friday that the company's parks division was a "big surprise" last quarter and that he feels confident about the company's trajectory in the first few months of his tenure at the top of the media giant.
"We're delivering on everything that we said we're going to deliver on," D'Amaro said. "I think there's clarity inside of the organization in terms of where we need to to go next. A lot of stability with the the team. So you know, almost six months in, I'm feeling pretty good about where we are."
D'Amaro stepped into the role of Disney CEO in March, succeeding Bob Iger after a closely watched succession race and following a turnaround period at the media giant.
The longtime Disney executive had most recently served as chairman of Disney Experiences, the unit that includes the theme parks, cruise lines and consumer products, and which drives profitability for the company.
