Paramount Skydance is set to name former NBC Universal exec Don McGregor as its distribution chief.

McGregor is understood to be taking on the remit of Lisa Kramer, who exited the company last week amid an overhaul of its US ranks.

He will rejoin, and report into, fellow NBCU exec Kevin MacLellan, who was appointed president of global content distribution and international media in August. 

McGregor and MacLellan also previously worked at NBCU with Jeff Shell, who was appointed president at Paramount Skydance this summer.

McGregor, who was taking meetings at Paramount Skydance’s stand at Mipcom last month, is currently chief exec at LA-based Flywheel Media, which he founded in January 2023.

Prior to that, he had been at NBCU for more than two decades, latterly as exec vice president and head of global distribution for digital and linear.

Broadcast International has contacted Paramount Skydance for comment. Deadline broke the news.
