Paramount ropes in Dennis K Cinelli as Chief Financial Officer

Paramount has appointed Dennis K Cinelli as the Chief Financial Officer, global media agencies have reported. 

Cinelli has earlier worked with Uber as Head of Mobility for the U.S. and Canada. He was leading Scale AI as CFO.

Cinelli will be taking over from Andrew C. Warren who has been EVP and Interim Chief Financial Officer since June 2025. 

His role is to oversee Paramount's global financial functions and that encompasses accounting, tax, and investor relations. 

David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, said: "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. 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."

Ellison said, "We have been incredibly fortunate to have Andy Warren serve as our interim CFO over the past 5+ months. 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." 

Paramount has also appointed Andrew Campion, the present Chairman and CEO of Unrivaled Sports, as independent director. Campion has over 17 years of experience at Nike, where was the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and head of Global Strategy. He was previously with The Walt Disney Company for over 11 years and most recently served as Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.

Ellison said: "We're excited to welcome Andy Campion to our board of directors. 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."
