I met him a few times when he was at Disney and was impressed by him. Wonder what he will do now.

(actually Disney as a company impresses me even though I don’t like the product).

I'm confused on why he's leaving. Is the political scope of the role too much for him and/or is this not the role he intended to occupy?
