Skydance Finalizes Post-Merger Leadership Across TV, Sports, and Finance
Following the closure of the $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, Skydance has finalized its executive leadership across television, sports, and finance. JB Perrette, co-chair of TV and direct-to-consumer (DTC) divisions, announced key appointments and departures, including the exit of seven senior leaders and the pending search for a new head of Pluto TV. Simultaneously, David Berson established the Global Sports Group leadership, and CFO Dennis Cinelli outlined a finance team tasked with achieving $6 billion in annualized cost savings. The restructuring aims to integrate legacy assets from both companies, streamline operations, and address significant debt while maintaining competitive streaming and linear TV portfolios.
