(Reuters) – Walt Disney <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) Co Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy is stepping down from her position to take family medical leave and will help search for a long-term successor, the company said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Kevin Lansberry, currently chief financial officer for Disney’s parks, experiences and products division, will serve as the company’s interim CFO starting July 1.<\/p>\n

McCarthy, a 23-year Disney veteran who became CFO in 2015, will continue to serve as a strategic adviser to ensure a successful transition, Disney said in a statement. A source said McCarthy’s husband has been ill.<\/p>\n

“Although I am leaving the CFO role, I look forward to helping with the transition and will always be rooting for the success of my extended Disney family,” McCarthy said in a statement.<\/p>\n

McCarthy, 67, helped set the stage for CEO Bob Iger’s return to Disney last November, when she expressed her lack of confidence in his predecessor, Bob Chapek.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Iger called McCarthy “one of the most admired financial executives in America.”<\/p>\n

“Christine has served as a key strategic anchor during a period of great transformation,” Iger added.<\/p>\n

(This story has been corrected to fix McCarthy’s age to 67, not 65, in paragraph 5)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
