Skydance International Leadership Unveiled After Merger Shake-Up
13 Oct
Summary
- JB Perrette to lead international streaming and networks.
- David Decker appointed President of Content Sales for global distribution.
- Temporary leadership for free-to-air networks 5 and Network Ten assigned.
Skydance has started to clarify its international executive team following its recent merger. JB Perrette has been appointed to a significant new role as Co-Chair & Chief Business Officer for Skydance TV and Skydance Direct-To-Consumer, taking charge of streaming and networks beyond the U.S. Perrette brings extensive international experience from his prior roles at Discovery and Warner Bros. Discovery.
David Decker, formerly of WBD, has been named President of Content Sales. He will be responsible for marketing major franchises from the Paramount and Warner libraries globally, a crucial task as the MIPCOM Cannes market is underway. Decker will report to Perrette, alongside other new executives.
In a separate development, Bryon Rubin is temporarily overseeing the free-to-air networks 5 and Network Ten. A permanent leadership structure for these networks is expected in the coming weeks. This follows the confirmed departures of Kevin MacLellan and Gerhard Zeiler from key international positions.
Further appointments and territory divisions within Skydance's international operations are anticipated shortly. The ongoing restructuring and planned $6B in synergies are causing significant discussion among international stakeholders seeking more clarity.
