There, he distributed catalog properties including Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, ABC & Disney Channel. Cohen will report to Andrew Gumpert, Paramount’s Chief Operating Officer.
“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.â€
