Naveen Chopra Exits as Paramount Global CFO


Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra is exiting the company “to pursue other opportunities.” Andrew Warren, currently a strategic advisor to Paramount’s three-headed Office of the CEO and a former CFO at Discovery Communications, will step in on an interim basis.

Warren will be executive vice president and interim chief financial officer. He’s been around to advise George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins on CEO matters.

“We thank Naveen for his leadership role during a dynamic period of transformation and growth,” Cheeks, McCarthy and Robbins, the co-CEOs, said in a statement. “We are excited to partner with Andy, who has been our strategic advisor, in his new, expanded role as interim CFO and we are confident that his deep financial expertise and familiarity with our business make him exceptionally well-suited to step into this position.”

Warren has also served as CFO of STX Entertainment and the NBCU Television Group.

One by one, top Paramount Global executives are going down, making way for David Ellison and his Skydance to take over and set up his own leadership team. Cheeks, McCarthy and Robbins together replaced Bob Bakish, the company’s former president and CEO. Jeff Shell will be president of Skydance Paramount when it becomes official.

More to come.
