He will report to Bob Bakish, President and CEO, ViacomCBS.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cRaffaele is an entrepreneurial, results-oriented leader with a proven ability to transform businesses and drive growth across diverse markets,\u201d said Bakish. \u201cIn recent years, Raffaele has taken on increased responsibility, demonstrating strategic and operational expertise that extends across a wide variety of geographies and platforms. His experience in expanding ViacomCBS\u2019s international footprint, forging key partnerships and accelerating our push into mobile and digital platforms will be critical to building on our leadership positions across Europe, Latin America and Asia and realizing our global ambitions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBakish added, \u201cI want to extend my deepest thanks to David for his many contributions over the past two decades, from integrating the international portfolios of CBS and Viacom to overseeing the launch of Viacom International Studios, including the acquisition of Ananey and repositioning the division to enable the continued expansion of our global streaming offerings. I\u2019m grateful for his dedication and leadership and wish him the best as he starts this next chapter.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to step into this role and help continue ViacomCBS\u2019s strong momentum around the world,\u201d said Annecchino. \u201cWe have an exciting opportunity to broaden the company\u2019s reach through new, innovative distribution channels and partnerships, and I look forward to working with Bob and the rest of the team to execute against our growth initiatives.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOver the course of his 23-year tenure, Annecchino has held a number of positions across ViacomCBS Networks International, formerly Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN). Most recently, he served as President of ViacomCBS Networks Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia (EMEAA), during which time he oversaw operations across a range of markets and led and coordinated VCNI\u2019s mobile strategy globally. Among his achievements were the launch and acquisition of free-to-air channels in the key markets of Italy, Spain and Germany, and the creation of a new business unit in September 2020 to help drive ViacomCBS\u2019s digital businesses across the EMEAA region, including capturing opportunities across free and pay streaming, advanced advertising and ViacomCBS Digital Studios International. Annecchino also led the expansion of Pluto TV in Europe with the recent successful launch of the service in Spain and the upcoming roll out in France and Italy in 2021.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPrior to joining MTV Networks International in 1997, Annecchino held positions at Turner International, Cartoon Network and CNN. He holds a Bachelor of Economics from the European Business School, London, UK, and an Executive MBA from the Instituto de Empresa International, Madrid, Spain. He completed the CTAM U Executive Management Program at Harvard Business School in 2016 and the CTAM Europe Executive Management Program at INSEAD in 2017.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLynn commented, \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor and a privilege to spend the greatest part of my career at ViacomCBS. From my early days at Comedy Central and Nickelodeon to more recently managing teams across our global portfolio, I\u2019ve benefitted from working with the most dynamic, talented team in the industry \u2013 who in this most challenging year succeeded in transforming the business for the next important phase of growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs President and CEO of VCNI and, before that, VIMN, Lynn was responsible for numerous strategic growth initiatives to diversify the company\u2019s international business, which led to a significant increase in the company\u2019s digital advertising and subscription revenues, among other achievements. As part of this, Lynn oversaw the launch of Viacom International Studios and the international rollout of Pluto TV and Noggin. Previously, he served as President of VIMN UK, Northern and Eastern Europe, where he oversaw Viacom\u2019s global distribution strategy and led the acquisition of Channel 5 Broadcasting and its integration into Viacom. Before that, he was SVP, Managing Director, for Nickelodeon UK, where he strengthened its position in one of the UK\u2019s most competitive viewing demographics, launching Nick Jr. and kick-starting its digital strategy.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About ViacomCBS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nViacomCBS (NASDAQ: VIAC; VIACA) is a leading global media and entertainment company that creates premium content and experiences for audiences worldwide.
