Paramount’s Maria Kyriacou is stepping down from the company after four years in the role, as the US studio shifts its strategy towards US content rather than international fare.
Kyriacou was most recently president of broadcast & studios at Paramount Global’s international markets unit and is not to be replaced, with CBS Studios chief David Stapf on her remit at Paramount TV International Studios.
Paramount’s regional chiefs will retain oversight of the company’s networks, with the rejig coming a day after CEO Bob Bakish revealed a focus on Hollywood series under the ‘One Paramount’ tagline.
