Bob Iger pledged to diversify Disney's executive ranks by 2021, then announced his exit before 2021

Good Variety article on Iger pledging to Maureen Dowd, while promoting his book, that he would improve diversity among the decision makers at Disney by 2021. https://variety.com/2020/film/news/disney-ceo-bob-iger-executive-diversity-2021-chapek-1203518019/ Variety asks: "But what of his pledge to implement inclusion at the very top of Disney, which earned a record-breaking $69 billion in 2019?"

And here's the original NY Times story where he made the vow.

TLDR: Iger didn't do the diversity thing
