Paramount Global has promoted Marco Nobili to the title of executive VP and international general manager of Paramount Plus, while Olivier Jollet has been upped to the same title for the ad-supported Pluto TV.
Both executives will report to Raffaele Anecchino, president and CEO of international networks, studios and streaming for Paramount, and Tom Ryan, present and CEO of streaming for the conglomerate.
