David Ellison slots Israeli Ynon Kreiz into executive role at merged Paramount-Warner studios
Ellison attracted scrutiny for appointing Bari Weiss, the Jewish and pro-Israel media innovator and pundit, as editor-in-chief of CBS News.
David Ellison, Jewish entertainment mogul, has appointed Ynon Kreiz, an Israeli businessman, as co-CEO of the new company formed by his merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. The new entity will be known as Skydance, the name of Ellison's production company. The move followed a settlement that allowed the merged mega-studio to come into existence, coming days after the deal was finalized.
In his inaugural post on X/Twitter, Ellison announced: "We have big goals for Skydance, and we intend to pursue them with passion, imagination and a willingness to take smart risks."
