MATTEL INC CEO Ynon Kreiz will join David Ellison as co-CEO of the newly combined PARAMOUNT SKYDANCE CL B and WARNER BROS DISCOVERY INC to drive $6B in cost savings. The appointment pairs Ellison's creative strategy with Kreiz's proven cost-cutting playbook from his tenures at Mattel and Endemol. The combined media behemoth carries roughly $80B in debt and faces complex integration hurdles under strict antitrust terms.
