Sept 10 (Reuters) - Paramount said on Wednesday that

Meta executive Dane Glasgow will join the media company

as its chief product officer.

In his new role, Glasgow will oversee the company's product

strategy and vision across digital platforms and AI-powered

capabilities.

He will report directly to Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) CEO

David Ellison and will work closely with Cindy Holland, who

chairs its direct-to-consumer business.

Glasgow has served as vice president of Product Management

at Meta's Facebook since May 2021.

He previously held executive roles at Microsoft ( MSFT ),

eBay ( EBAY ) and Google.

Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) was formed following an $8.4 billion

merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media, completed in

August, which brought new leadership to the media company.

Since the merger, Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ) has secured a deal with

Microsoft ( MSFT )-owned Activision Blizzard for a film

adaptation of "Call of Duty" and entered into a three-year

agreement for global distribution of films produced by Legendary

Entertainment, beginning with a "Street Fighter" movie.

The company will also pay $7.7 billion for exclusive U.S.

broadcast rights to the Ultimate Fighting Championship for seven

years.
