Paramount Global CFO Naveen Chopra Exits to Join Roblox

Paramount Global chief financial officer Naveen Chopra is exiting his post at the media company to join gaming platform company Roblox as CFO.

Following Chopra’s departure from Paramount, Andrew Warren — who currently serves as strategic adviser to the office of the CEO (working under co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins) and is himself the former CFO of Discovery Communications — will assume the additional role of executive VP and interim CFO at Paramount. The CFO shuffle at Paramount comes as its $8 billion merger deal with Skydance Media is currently in limbo, pending FCC approval.

Per an SEC filing Monday by Paramount, Chopra notified the company of his decision to resign from his position effective June 27.

Chopra will join Roblox as CFO, effective June 30, 2025, the gaming company announced. “Naveen’s experience as CFO at leading companies equips him with invaluable financial and strategic acumen to foster Roblox’s growth,” Roblox CEO and co-founder David Baszucki said in a statement. “His engineering foundation further enhances his ability to align technical operations with financial strategy, making him an ideal leader for our ongoing innovation and success.”

Warren, prior to his current position at Paramount and before his previous role as CFO at Discovery Communications, served as CFO of STX Entertainment and the NBCU Television Group. As Paramount’s strategic adviser to the office of the CEO, he works closely with senior leadership on financial and strategic decisions, according to the company.

“We thank Naveen for his leadership role during a dynamic period of transformation and growth,” Paramount co-CEOs Cheeks, McCarthy and Robbins said in a statement Monday. “We are excited to partner with Andy, who has been our strategic adviser, in his new, expanded role as interim CFO and we are confident that his deep financial expertise and familiarity with our business make him exceptionally well-suited to step into this position.”
