Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Jesse Sisgold is leaving his official role at Skydance to become a senior C-suite adviser at RedBird Capital Partners, a strategic partner of the company. The move gives him a broader advisory role across RedBird’s sports and entertainment portfolio after more than a decade helping build Skydance.
Sisgold joined Skydance in 2014, became chief operating officer and later led its sports business. After Skydance acquired Paramount last year, he ran Paramount Sports Entertainment, which CEO David Ellison said renewed its NFL partnership, received ten Sports Emmy nominations and had number one releases across four platforms. Ellison credited Sisgold with helping raise capital, build partnerships and lead the merger with Paramount.
