Dan Cohen
Paramount Pictures announced that it is elevating Dan Cohen to president of Worldwide Home Entertainment & Television Distribution.
Cohen, who currently serves as president of Worldwide Television Licensing, assumes the role previously held by Mary Daily, who had overseen International Theatrical Marketing and Home Entertainment for the studio since 2017, but earlier this month was promoted to co-president, Worldwide Theatrical Marketing & Distribution.
Cohen joined Paramount in 2017. Prior to that, he spent 20 years at Disney/ABC, where he most recently served as EVP of Pay Television & Digital for Home Entertainment & Television Distribution for The Walt Disney Studios. There, he distributed catalog properties including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, ABC & Disney Channel. Cohen will report to Andrew Gumpert, Paramount’s Chief Operating Officer.
Bob Buchi, president of Worldwide Home Entertainment will continue in his current role, reporting to Cohen.
“Dan has been an indispensable leader in the licensing space, both for Paramount and in the industry at large,” said Gumpert. “He has a proven track record of business growth, and I am confident that, along with Bob Buchi and his team, he will more than excel in overseeing our home entertainment and television distribution businesses.”
