Cindy Holland Tapped As Senior Advisor To David Ellison & Skydance Ahead Of Paramount Takeover, Sister To Close U.S. Office
Cindy Holland is stepping down as Global CEO of Sister to become senior advisor to Skydance. Sister’s Los Angeles office will close at the end of 2024.
Over the past year, Holland brought in former Netflix executives Jane Wiseman as Head of U.S. Television and Efrain Miron as President Of Strategy & BA, and signed talent deals, including pacts with Natasha Lyonne’s Animal Pictures and Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij. The decision to close the Los Angeles office followed a review of the Sister board which examined the tough market conditions that have been exceserbared by the pandemic, double Hollywood strike and the ongoing industry contraction. They opted not to replace Holland’s role in the U.S. and, as Sister continues its pursuit of profitability, to focus the company’s efforts and resources on the UK market where it has been successful with a slew of TV series commissions.
