Nut Graf These rapid succession changes underscore Paramount’s ongoing transformation under new ownership and signal a strategic realignment of leadership to bolster global marketing, distribution and independent content partnerships.

Executive Departures and Arrivals

• Shari Redstone Appointed Chair at Sipur Former Paramount Global chair Shari Redstone will helm Israel-based production company Sipur, renowned for the Emmy-winning documentary We Will Dance Again and Netflix’s Bad Boy. Redstone, who stepped away from Paramount earlier this year following its acquisition by Skydance, will guide Sipur’s global expansion and content strategy from Los Angeles and Tel Aviv.
• Marc Weinstock Exits as Global Marketing President Paramount’s current President of Global Marketing and Distribution, Marc Weinstock, is leaving the studio after steering the record-breaking success of Top Gun: Maverick. Weinstock helped generate $1.49 billion at the box office, marking both the franchise’s and Tom Cruise’s career high.
• Josh Goldstine in Final Talks for Weinstock’s Role Industry veteran Josh Goldstine, formerly of Warner Bros. and Universal, is in final negotiations to become Paramount’s new Global Head of Marketing and Distribution. Goldstine’s track record includes marketing Barbie ($1.44 billion worldwide) and pioneering pandemic-era campaigns for Warner Bros. blockbusters, positioning him to lead Paramount’s next phase of tentpole releases.

Strategic Implications Paramount’s leadership transition comes amid broader consolidation trends in Hollywood and a push to revitalize its streaming and theatrical business under David Ellison. Elevating Goldstine’s digital-savvy marketing expertise and leveraging Redstone’s industry acumen at Sipur reflect a dual focus on franchise growth and independent content ventures.

Outlook As Paramount integrates these leadership changes, attention will focus on Goldstine’s impact on upcoming releases and Redstone’s influence on Sipur’s global footprint. Investors and industry watchers will gauge whether this leadership overhaul accelerates Paramount’s recovery and content diversification in a competitive media landscape.
