Skydance President Andy Gordon unveiled a new round of division chiefs as the company formed by the combination of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery takes shape.
In an internal memo seen by Deadline, Gordon outlined the heads of games, consumer products, human resources and global operations. It follows an initial list of key appointments under co-CEOs David Ellison and Yvonne Craze, who came to Skydance from Mattel last week. The mega-merger officially closed on Tuesday.
The memo installed Tony Driscoll as President of Games & Experiences to lead the global Games & Experiences portfolio in addition to corporate strategy and development.
Josh Silverman, president, global product and publishing, will lead consumer products and publishing.
Jim Sterner will continue to lead Chief People Officer, People and Culture.
President of Global Operations, Jose Turcianiz, will continue to lead our global business services function, real estate, procurement and studio operations, focusing on simplifying processes and improving service across our businesses so teams can bring ideas to market faster.
Jeff Silberman, EVP, corporate strategy, will serve as Gordon Chief of Staff, continuing to lead corporate strategy as well as integration management office. He will also lead select projects on behalf of Gordon.
“We are investing in our core ambitions in TV, film and direct-to-consumer, as well as in our future growth engines: games, experiences, consumer products and publishing. These are core pillars of our strategy to build engagement and fans in both the physical and digital worlds. We want to meet consumers wherever they watch, play and engage. At the same time, we see opportunities to enhance DC Comics storytelling and expand our e-commerce offerings so fans can To be paired with their favorite brands,” Gordon said.
“Our teams will be central to delivering this ambition: setting our strategic direction, driving operational excellence and helping our people grow.”
