Paramount has named Dennis Cinelli its new chief financial officer, bringing a veteran of the tech world to the company’s senior leadership.
Cinelli had been a board member of Paramount, but will step aside from that position to join the executive team. He succeeds Andrew Warren, who had been serving as interim CFO since last summer.
Warren will become a strategic adviser to the company.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dennis Cinelli as our new CFO. I have known Dennis for many years and have enormous respect for his financial acumen and tremendous track record of guiding high-growth technology companies, including G.E. Ventures, Uber, and Scale AI, through periods of scale and transformation,” said Paramount CEO David Ellison in a statement. “He brings deep expertise across direct-to-consumer, media and industrial sectors, as well as AI and other disruptive technologies, and will be an outstanding addition to our leadership team as we continue to drive growth and innovation.”
“We have been incredibly fortunate to have Andy Warren serve as our interim CFO over the past 5+ months,” the CEO added. “He is widely respected across the organization and the industry, and his deep experience, professionalism, and strategic insight have been invaluable. While he will be stepping out of the interim position, we are grateful that he will continue to support the company as a strategic advisor.”
With Cinelli leaving the board, the company named Andrew Campion to replace him there. Campion is CEO of Unrivaled Sports, and the former COO of Nike.
“We’re excited to welcome Andy Campion to our board of directors,” Ellison added. “Andy brings extensive experience building and scaling large, complex organizations, having served as a senior executive and board member for some of the world’s most iconic companies, including Nike, The Walt Disney Company, and Starbucks. His expertise and strong track record in driving growth, innovation, and operational excellence make him an ideal addition to our board, and we look forward to benefiting from his strategic perspective and leadership.”
