Another top executive is set to leave Paramount following Skydances acquisition of the global media company.

Justin Dini, who had led corporate communications at the company, steered the companys messaging through a number of critical moments, including the Viacom-CBS merger, the rebranding to Paramount Global, the acquisition of Pluto TV and the launch Paramount+, and of course the leadership transition and eventual deal with Skydance.

He joined the company in 2017 from the Brunswick Group, shortly after Bob Bakish was named CEO of Viacom. Over the past eight years weve been through a lot togetherrebrands and restructures, mergers and acquisitions, a pandemic, the occasional lawsuit, and more than a few pivots and peaks, Dini wrote in a memo to staff Tuesday. The one constant that has defined my time at this company through it all has been the quality of the people Ive had the opportunity to work with: the very best in the business, who bring equal measures of humanity, generosity, expertise, and commitment. This team shows up each day to tell Paramounts storyand does so with purpose, even in the most challenging moments.

I feel enormously lucky to have been part of this team, he added. Ive had the chance to work on stories that mattered, to navigate a fast-changing landscape alongside colleagues I deeply respect, and to be part of a team that cares not only about the work, but about one another. Thats rare. And its something Ill always carry with me.

In connection with Skydances acquisition of Paramount, a number of senior executives have left the company, most notably co-CEOs Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins. Their fellow co-CEO George Cheeks remains with the company, leading the TV businesses.

Film chief Michael Ireland and comms exec Liza Burnett Fefferman also exited the company. Melissa Zukerman joined Paramount in connection with the deal, and now runs all communications for the company.

You can read Dinis memo, below.

On my very first day at what was then Viacom in 2017, I walked into a war roomand, in many respects, I never left.

Over the past eight years weve been through a lot togetherrebrands and restructures, mergers and acquisitions, a pandemic, the occasional lawsuit, and more than a few pivots and peaks. The one constant that has defined my time at this company through it all has been the quality of the people Ive had the opportunity to work with: the very best in the business, who bring equal measures of humanity, generosity, expertise, and commitment. This team shows up each day to tell Paramounts storyand does so with purpose, even in the most challenging moments.

I feel enormously lucky to have been part of this team. Ive had the chance to work on stories that mattered, to navigate a fast-changing landscape alongside colleagues I deeply respect, and to be part of a team that cares not only about the work, but about one another. Thats rare. And its something Ill always carry with me.

As I look aheadto my next chapter,Im also mindful of whats next for the team. Mel and I haveworkedtogethercloselythroughout this transitionand Im grateful for herpartnership. I know the work is in great hands, and Ill continue to be a resource for her and the team as she steps into the role.

It has been the rideand the privilegeof a lifetime to help shepherd this iconic company through a period of enormous and transformational change.

Thank you againfor the trust, the partnership, and the good humor along the way. While Friday is my last day, Ill always be a phone call awayand will be cheering you on from afar.

Best,

Justin
