Former Netflix Content Chief Cindy Holland to Become Advisor to Skydance, Sister to Close LA Office

As a fan who has closely followed the dynamic world of streaming and production, I am thrilled to see Cindy Holland taking on her new role as senior advisor at Skydance. Her extensive experience and insights in the streaming business will undoubtedly be a valuable asset for David Ellison and his team during this exciting time, as they close their acquisition of Paramount Global.


Previously at Netflix, content leader Cindy Holland, will share her knowledge with David Ellison and Skydance Media, as they work towards finalizing their purchase of Paramount Global.

Holland is appointed as a “consultant” at Ellison and Skydance, offering her knowledge and perspectives on the streaming industry.

In July 2023, Holland took on the role of CEO for Sister, a production company established by Elisabeth Murdoch, Stacey Snider, and Jane Featherstone in 2019. Holland was appointed with the task of expanding Sister’s global production operations.

Holland expressed his pride in being associated with Sister, known for its top-notch storytelling, creative authenticity, and exceptional staff. In a statement, he thanked Liz, Jane, and the entire team for their collaboration. He is excited about future projects with them. Additionally, Holland values his longstanding bond with David and Skydance’s senior team and is thrilled about the prospect of working more closely with them.

With a decrease in global TV production, Sister decided to concentrate on profitable areas of their business and close their Los Angeles office by the end of 2024. Although they will continue to manufacture and distribute shows for the American market, their main attention will shift towards their UK operations.

Sister CFO Chris Fry will serve as interim CEO of the company while it searched for a new leader.

Speaking as one of her many fans, I can confidently say that Cindy’s intelligence and talent make her an exceptional executive to work with. I’m deeply appreciative of her guidance and leadership, and I eagerly look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her in a new role for years to come.
