Summary
David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz have announced the CEO leadership team for Skydance, effective upon the anticipated close of the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition. Ellison will serve as chairman and CEO, Kreiz as co-CEO, and Andy Gordon as president, with Dennis Cinelli as chief financial officer and Mark Thompson as chairman and editor-in-chief of CNN Worldwide. All three of Ellison, Kreiz, and Gordon will also serve on the board, with Ellison as chairman.
