the company has bought some of the biggest media brands in the world — pixar animation, marvel and lucasfilml rajan about his career and what he's learnt along the way. who is the most powerful person in global media today? you could say it's someone from a tech giant, but they'd be run very close by the boss of the walt disney company. its ceo is bob iger. he has been in charge since 2005 and has pulled off some of the most outrageous acquisitions in immediate history. he persuaded stevejobs to sell him pixar and bought marvel, persuaded george lucas to sell him star wars and even got 21st century fox. if there is one person who understands the past, present and future of media, it is bob iger, the disney ceo. welcome to bbc. there is a century of heritage and sound anywhere from the beatles to adele, led zeppelin. robert plant was here couple weeks ago. what do you think? i like it, it has character, a lot of character. bob iger, thank you.
