David Ellison has brought in Ynon Kreiz as co-CEO to help run his expanding media empire, in a move CNBC reports answers a key governance question for Ellison's soon-to-be-merged company.
CNBC's report frames the appointment as resolving uncertainty over how leadership would be structured at the combined business once the merger Ellison has been pursuing is completed, though the report did not specify the precise division of responsibilities between Ellison and Kreiz as co-CEOs.
Kreiz joins the venture at Skydance, the company Ellison leads, as it works through the governance and operational questions that typically accompany a major corporate merger. CNBC's report did not detail Kreiz's immediate prior role before this appointment.
The move comes amid a broader period of consolidation and leadership changes across major media and entertainment companies, as firms restructure in response to shifting competitive and financial pressures in the industry.
CNBC's report did not include additional comment from Ellison or Kreiz beyond confirmation of the appointment, and further details on the company's leadership structure were not provided.
