>David Ellison has spent two years fighting to build his media empire. Now, he’s bringing in a heavyweight to help him run it.>>Ynon Kreiz, outgoing CEO of Mattel, will serve as co-CEO of the combined Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, to be named simply Skydance, when the merger closes on Tuesday.>>The new entity will unite the storied film studios of Paramount and Warner Bros.; the CBS broadcast network; a sprawling portfolio of pay-TV networks that include CNN, TNT, MTV and BET; and streaming services Paramount+ and HBO Max, all under one roof.>>The appointment of Kreiz to a top executive position alongside Ellison speaks to a governance question that has surrounded Ellison’s aggressive pursuit of the legacy media assets: The tech executive and son of billionaire Larry Ellison can buy it, but can he lead it?>>Not even 18 months ago, Ellison was the CEO of film production company Skydance with a limited portfolio of hits, namely the Tom Cruise-led Mission: Impossible franchise and “Top Gun: Maverick.”>>By August 2025, he was successfully closing an acquisition of Paramount, a deal worth around $8 billion. Roughly a month later, he started his campaign for WBD, spurring a back-and-forth bidding war that would ultimately result in a deal worth roughly $110 billion on an enterprise basis to merge two of Hollywood’s biggest media companies.>>Kreiz is a 30-year veteran of the media space, arguably best known for ushering “Barbie” to the big screen in 2023. He’s earned a reputation as a turnaround man, with roots in entertainment despite his more recent stint in consumer goods.>>He joins Paramount Skydance on Monday, and becomes co-CEO on Tuesday upon closing.https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/03/david-ellison-ynon-kreiz-skydance.html
