Bobby Kotick and Laurene Powell Jobs Join Skydance's Board

Skydance Corp., the company formed from the megamerger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, is adding two independent directors: Laurene Powell Jobs, founder and president of Emerson Collective, and Bobby Kotick, founder and former CEO of Activision. Board appointments are the quiet part of a merger — the deal gets the headlines, the directors are the ones who keep meeting. Independent seats at a newly combined studio are a governance detail with an audience, and the names chosen tell you something about the kind of oversight the company wants on the record.
