派拉蒙天舞董事长兼CEO大卫·埃里森周三表示，长期担任美泰CEO的伊农·克雷兹将成为即将合并的派拉蒙-华纳兄弟探索的联合CEO。
Paramount Skydance chair and CEO David Ellison said Wednesday that longtime Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz will become co-CEO of the soon-to-be combined Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery.
为何重要：克雷兹在打造横跨传统、数字和现场娱乐以及零售产品的消费品牌方面拥有丰富经验，而埃里森正寻求整合两家传统娱乐公司。
Why it matters: Kreiz brings experience building consumer franchises that span traditional, digital and live entertainment, as well as retail products, as Ellison looks to integrate two legacy entertainment companies.
深入来看：此次聘用使埃里森能够专注于战略，而克雷兹负责日常运营。
Zoom in: The hire allows Ellison to focus on strategy while Kreiz manages day-to-day operations.
派拉蒙在一份声明中表示，埃里森“寻求一位具备运营实力的合作伙伴，帮助开启娱乐新时代——两人准备为创意社区、股东和观众释放价值。”埃里森和克雷兹将共同监管合并后公司的业务，这些业务将向两人联合汇报。
In a statement, Paramount said Ellison "sought a partner with the operating firepower to help usher in a new era of entertainment — duo prepared to unlock value for the creative community, shareholders and audiences alike." Together, Ellison and Kreiz will oversee the combined company's businesses, which will report jointly to both.
克雷兹还将加入董事会。周三早些时候，美泰宣布克雷兹在担任CEO八年后离开公司。
Kreiz will also join the board of directors. Earlier Wednesday, Mattel announced Kreiz was leaving the company after eight years as CEO.
背景：周三，美国地区法官阿拉塞利·马丁内斯-奥尔金批准了派拉蒙与12位州检察长的和解协议，允许华纳兄弟探索收购案完成。
Context: On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín approved Paramount's settlement with 12 state attorneys general, allowing the WBD acquisition to close.
派拉蒙表示，克雷兹将于10月5日入职。高管们表示，预计合并将于10月初完成。
Paramount said Kreiz will start at the company Oct. 5. Executives have said they expect the merger to close in early October.
耐人寻味之处：新闻稿未提及现任华纳兄弟探索高管（包括CEO兼总裁大卫·扎斯拉夫）在交易完成后是否会留在合并后的公司。
The intrigue: The press release did not mention whether current WBD executives, including CEO and president David Zaslav, would remain with the combined company after the deal closes.
派拉蒙此前曾在早期收购要约中向扎斯拉夫提供联合CEO和联合董事长职位。
Paramount had previously offered Zaslav a co-CEO and co-chair role as a part of an early bid for the company.
下一步：一位消息人士称，更广泛的高管领导团队细节可能几天内不会公布。
What's next: A source said details about the broader executive leadership team aren't likely to be announced for a few days.
