NinjaTech AI Taps Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek as Advisor to Help Scale Its Enterprise AI Workforce Platform

Chapek will advise the company as it expands deployment of SuperNinja Enterprise across large organizations.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NinjaTech AI, the company behind SuperNinja Enterprise, today announced that Bob Chapek, former Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, has joined the company as an advisor. The appointment comes as NinjaTech AI brings SuperNinja Enterprise, its turnkey AI workforce platform, to market for large organizations.

Chapek spent nearly three decades at The Walt Disney Company, including as CEO from 2020 to 2022 and, before that, as Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. He led a technology-driven transformation of Disney's consumer businesses, oversaw its global parks and experiences, and led Disney+ to 100 million subscribers in March 2021. His career has been defined by taking consumer-grade technology and running it at enormous scale, which is precisely the challenge enterprises now face as they move AI from pilots into production.

That experience maps directly to where NinjaTech AI is now. SuperNinja Enterprise, launched on September 28, 2026, runs long-running AI agents that take a goal and see it through, working unattended for hours or even days around the clock until the job is done. Critically, the platform is deployed on-prem: it runs inside the customer's own cloud or data center, so enterprise data never leaves the customer's walls. It runs state-of-the-art open-weight models, comes on a fixed annual bill with the computing capacity delivered under the same contract, and costs about one tenth of frontier models. Bringing a leader who has scaled technology and operations for hundreds of millions of customers strengthens the company's push into the enterprise.

"As we launched SuperNinja Enterprise, we set out to give companies an AI workforce they own and can run securely on their own infrastructure, without runaway costs," said Babak Pahlavan, CEO of NinjaTech AI. “Bob has spent his career scaling technology and operations for hundreds of millions of customers. His perspective on how large organizations adopt new technology, and how to do it without giving up control of cost or data, will be invaluable as we grow."

"The conversation around AI has firmly shifted to execution,” said Chapek. “Business leaders are asking a different question now: how to put AI to work every day, at scale, under their own control and cost-effectively. NinjaTech AI has built its platform around those realities, and I'm looking forward to helping Babak and the team bring that approach to more enterprises."
