Christine M McCarthy

McCarthy joined Disney in 2000 as treasurer. She previously spent two decades in the banking industry. In her eight years as Disney’s chief financial officer she helped stabilize the company during the pandemic, when most of Disney was shut down, and played a key role in the ouster of Bob Chapek as chief executive in 2022. She has announced her plans to step down as Disney's CFO on July 7 2023. Although she has a contract which runs through June 2024, she cited her move as a “family medical leave of absence.” She will serve as a strategic adviser until then and help “identify and onboard a long-term successor.”
