Investing.com -- Bob Iger has taken an advisory role at Thrive Capital following his departure from Disney last month, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The former Disney chief executive officer, who stepped down after nearly two decades leading the entertainment company, will work with Thrive’s staff on investments and with founders of companies in the venture firm’s portfolio, one person said.
Thrive Capital was founded by Joshua Kushner, a former Goldman Sachs banker and son of real-estate developer Charles Kushner. Joshua Kushner is the younger brother of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law.
The venture firm recently raised $10 billion for a new set of funds. Thrive has backed companies including Instagram, Spotify, A24 and OpenAI.
