The merger between Skydance and Paramount Global has been finalized, marking a significant shift in the entertainment industry. Larry Ellison and his son David Ellison are set to lead the revamped Paramount with a focus on integrating technology. Most of the previous executive team has been removed, with key figures like George Cheeks retained. The new management aims to achieve $2 billion in cost reductions while investing $1.5 billion to reduce debt. The deal offers opportunities for transformative investments in tech and gaming, despite challenges in the streaming market and traditional TV business.
David Ellison will oversee the leadership of the newly united Skydance and Paramount Global, phasing out much of the previous executive team.
The Ellison family, along with RedBird Capital Partners, will invest heavily in Paramount, potentially leading to significant changes in tech and gaming.
