Board Of Directors

Peter Cuneo
Cuneo & Co., Former CEO of Marvel Entertainment

Peter Cuneo was recently recognized by Forbes Magazine as among the 10 top business CEO turnaround experts in the US today – and is best known for taking Marvel Comics out of bankruptcy – and then selling it to Disney 9 years later for $ 4.3 Billion.

Peter traces the success of his many turnaround endeavors to two areas of critical expertise – strong leadership – and the essential role of a dynamic corporate culture. Peter is currently the Chairman and Acting CEO of Iconix – and is also Managing Partner of Cuneo Capital Partners.

He has completed seven turnarounds of distressed branded businesses in the global media and consumer products sectors since 1983.

From 1999 to 2009, Peter played a lead role in the turnaround of Marvel Entertainment Inc. (NYSE – MVL). As President and CEO, he led Marvel, post-bankruptcy, to a prominent position in the entertainment industry. He then served as Vice Chairman of the board, providing active leadership as Marvel grew to one of the world’s leading entertainment brands and culminated in its $4 billion sale to Disney at the end of 2009.
