Paramount Welcomes New Leadership

On January 15, 2026, Paramount, a leading global media and entertainment company, announced the appointment of Dennis K. Cinelli as its Chief Financial Officer. In this role, Cinelli will take over the financial helm from Andrew C. Warren, who has served as the interim CFO since June 2025. In a strategic move, Cinelli will also be resigning from his position on the Board of Directors to fully commit to his new role.

A Track Record of Success

Dennis K. Cinelli is recognized for his substantial contributions to some of the most innovative companies globally. Before joining Paramount, he served as Chief Financial Officer at Scale AI, a company that gained significant valuation during his tenure. Moreover, his role as Head of Mobility for Uber in the U.S. and Canada allowed him to play a pivotal part in the company's expansion and public offering.

Cinelli brings a wealth of experience in managing financial functions across various sectors, including direct-to-consumer, media, and industrial segments. His diverse expertise, particularly in the growing fields of AI and disruptive technologies, positions him to effectively oversee Paramount's financial strategies moving forward.

Strategic Leadership Changes

David Ellison, the Chairman and CEO of Paramount, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome Dennis Cinelli as our new CFO. He brings deep expertise and a remarkable track record that will be instrumental as we drive growth and innovation."

As Cinelli transitions into his role, Andrew Warren will continue to support Paramount's leadership team as a strategic advisor. Ellison commended Warren for his invaluable contributions during the transition period and acknowledged his deep-rooted respect within the company and industry.

Strengthening the Board of Directors

In addition to the leadership change in the financial sector, Paramount has expanded its Board of Directors by adding Andrew Campion, who will serve as an independent director. Campion holds the position of Chairman and CEO at Unrivaled Sports and brings extensive experience from his previous executive roles at iconic companies like Nike and The Walt Disney Company.

With over 17 years at Nike—including roles as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with significant strategic leadership roles at Disney—Campion's expertise will be invaluable to Paramount's future strategies. Ellison emphasized that Campion's proven track record in driving operational excellence and innovation makes him a perfect fit for Paramount's board.

A Forward-Looking Vision

Paramount, under its new leadership, aims to continue evolving as a next-generation media powerhouse. The company's diverse portfolio includes well-known brands such as Paramount Pictures, CBS, Nickelodeon, and Skydance, reflecting its commitment to providing exceptional entertainment experiences.

With a fresh perspective on finance and strategic direction, both Cinelli and Campion are poised to play crucial roles as Paramount seeks to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of the media industry. They aim to enhance the company's financial management and strategy, ensuring that Paramount remains competitive and innovative in the entertainment sector.
