“#Disney\u2019s Bob Iger joins board of vegan dairy startup<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Disney\u2019s Bob Iger is joining his first outside board of directors since stepping down from the App<\/a>le board 13 months ago.<\/p>\n

The Mouse House executive chairman and former CEO will fill a founder-designated board seat on Perfect Day, a Berkeley, Calif.-based startup that uses fermentation to produce animal-free, flora-made dairy protein.<\/p>\n

\u201cInnovation and leadership are both key to world changing ideas,\u201d Iger said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cPerfect Day has established both innovation in its use of technology<\/a> and novel approach to fighting climate change, and clear leadership in building a category with a multi-year head start in the industry they\u2019re helping to build.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iger, who stepped down as Disney\u2019s CEO in February just before the pandemic reached the US,\u00a0 joins Perfect Day cofounders, Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi and representatives from lead investors Aftab Mathur of Temasek Holdings and Patrick Zhang of Horizons Ventures, on the start-up\u2019s board.<\/p>\n

Iger, who will remain Disneys\u2019 executive chairman through 2021, resigned from Apple\u2019s board in 2019 as the two companies were readying to launch competing streaming video services.<\/p>\n

Although Iger\u2019s new gig seems a tad off-brand, the exec has some history in the (non-vegan) dairy space. He mentored the founders of the Brooklyn-based ice cream company Ample Hills Creamery in 2015, and helped them secure space in Disney World, and rights to use Star Wars branding in its flavors.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
