INTRODUCTION
Bob Chapek is the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Walt Disney Company and an American media executive and businessman.

BOB CHAPEK EARLY LIFE
Robert Chapek was born on August 21, 1960 (at the age of 61) in Hammond, Indiana, USA. He is the son of Marie Lofay, a working mother, and Bernard W. Chapek. Bernard, his father, was a World War II veteran. Chapek described himself as a “latch-key kid” because both of his parents worked, which was unusual at the time.
Watching both parents work “instilled a work ethic in me, and they worked hard for the nicer things in life,” according to Chapek. I saw their role modelling, and it left an indelible impression on my drive and ambition.” His family went to Walt Disney World on an annual basis.
In 1977, Bob Chapek graduated from George Rogers Clark Jr./Sr. High School. He went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in microbiology from Indiana University Bloomington and a Master of Business Administration from Michigan State University.

He understood how to grow the company while adapting to a volatile marketplace.” Chapek is credited with bringing Disney’s home entertainment division into the digital age by focusing on DVD and later Blu-ray disc releases.
He was promoted to president of Buena Vista Home Entertainment in July 2006, which included all home video, DVD, and Blu-ray releases for all divisions. He was named president of Walt Disney Studios’ distribution division in 2009.
