One of the biggest executive suite questions about Paramount following its pending acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery — who will lead streaming — may have been answered. Cindy Holland is leaving Paramount where she was Chair of Direct-To-Consumer since the close of the Skydance-Paramount merger having served as an advisor to Skydance CEO David Ellison […]
Paramount Streaming head Cindy Holland is set to resign prior to the completion of the $110 billion merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. Holland, who joined the company in 2024 as an advisor and took charge of Paramount+ and Pluto TV following the $8 billion Paramount-Skydance merger, expressed her support for HBO's stability as the merger progresses.
She is confident in the team's ability to navigate the transition smoothly. Holland's tenure led to a record retention rate, double-digit growth in engagement and revenue for Paramount+, and the launch of over 40 new and returning series. While the successor to Holland's role remains undisclosed, HBO CEO Casey Bloys is anticipated to assume leadership of the merged streaming service.
