Josh D’Amaro officially takes the reigns as the CEO of Disney

Attached are two articles with slightly different points of view on the succession that's happening. 

I'm hopeful that the company manages to get it right this time and that Josh is ready to step in as the leader of one of the most recognized brands with a long and illustrious history. 

But one thing that I can't quite understand: why him? What makes him more qualified than anyone with experience with the company? (And if I wanted to sound petty, why wouldn't someone like me even get consideration). 

A brief summary of his bona fides: he graduated with a degree in business in 1993 from Georgetown. He went to work at Gillette for a couple of years.

Then, he moved to Disney as vice president of sales and travel trade marketing. 

And it's been a rise ever since.

It's not like he's a wunderkind, exactly. 

But as I said, I hope it works out.
