Overview
- Dini confirmed his exit in an internal memo, saying Friday will be his last day and praising the communications team’s work through years of change.
- He said he will remain a resource for Melissa Zukerman and the team as she steps into the role.
- Dini joined the company in 2017 and led communications through the CBS re-merger, the Pluto TV acquisition, the rebrand to Paramount Global, the launch of Paramount+, the 2024 leadership transition, and the Skydance transaction.
- The Skydance-Paramount deal closed last month, and Zukerman—an adviser to Skydance CEO David Ellison and former co-head of Principal Communications—was named CCO as the merger closed.
- Before Paramount, Dini held senior roles at Brunswick Group and served as special assistant for communications to New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson Jr.
