Paramount CTO Phil Wiser to Depart After Seven Years Amid Digital Transformation
Phil Wiser, the Chief Technology Officer of Paramount, has announced his departure from the company after seven years of service, effective at the end of May. His exit coincides with an accelerated digital transformation led by David Ellison following the Paramount-Skydance merger. In a farewell memo obtained by Business Insider, Wiser expressed gratitude for the team culture and colleagues rather than focusing solely on professional accomplishments. Sources indicate that Wiser is not retiring but may pursue opportunities with tech startups. Instead of appointing a direct successor, Paramount’s Chief Product Officer, Dane Glasgow, stated that Wiser’s responsibilities will be distributed among four existing executives: Laksh Nathan, Jim Harrison, Frank Governale, and Carlo Joseph. Wiser, who joined Paramount in 2018 from Sony and Hearst, played a significant role in modernizing the company’s technology platforms during major corporate shifts, including the Viacom-CBS merger and the recent pandemic. His tenure was marked by efforts to strengthen technical foundations and scale global direct-to-consumer businesses.
