Disney's CFO Tom Staggs and Disney parks chief Jay Rasulo to flip jobs
Tom Staggs, the highly regarded chief financial officer of Walt Disney Co. and close associate to Disney CEO Bob Iger, is trading places with Jay Rasulo, the head of Disney's parks and resorts business.
Iger orchestrated the surprise job swap to afford both executives "greater breadth and depth of experience," according to a company insider.
Disney is releasing third quarter results today after the market closes.
Both executives are longtime Disney vets, who each began their careers at the Mouse House in strategic planning.
