Steve Jobs. The profile details how Iger needed to win back the trust of Jobs, along with Pixar co-founders John Lasseter and Ed Catmull, after a tension had developed between the animation studio and Disney under Iger's predecessor. Both Iger and Jobs came to see each other as partners, according to
Fortune:</p> <!--break-->
<p>"Steve recognized that in Bob he actually had a partner," says Catmull. "In the subsequent years they thought of each other as true partners. That's what he wanted, and that's not what he had previously."</p>
<p>Iger has served on Apple's Board of Directors since November 2011. Disney and Apple have been close for many years now, with content partnerships through the iTunes Store, and just this year, Disney became one of Apple's first
Apple Pay partners.</p> <p>Source:
