Maria Kyriacou, Paramount Global’s president of broadcast and studios on the international markets side, is exiting the company, TheWrap has learned. This change comes as Paramount scales down its international originals offerings to focus more on originals from the U.S. market.
The news was broken to staff in a memo sent by Paramount international boss Pam Kaufman and CBS CEO George Cheeks and aligns with the company’s shifting 2024 strategy. Moving forward, the company will focus less on international content and more on Hollywood series and films, “which have mass global appeal, are in high demand with our partners,” the memo reads.
