Kevin Mayer, who was passed over for the top job at Walt Disney Co., is becoming chief executive of TikTok, in a jump from one of the entertainment industry’s most venerable names to one of its buzziest new arrivals.
He was thought to be in contention for CEO, but was passed over earlier this year when Bob Iger named Bob Chapek as his successor.
