Jean-Briac Perrette

Why this profile exists

Perrette runs the operating business at the center of three of the most consequential streaming storylines of 2026: the HBO Max international rollout into the U.K., Germany and Italy as legacy licensing windows expire; the streaming-segment profitability turn that took WBD’s full-year streaming Adjusted EBITDA from $677 million in 2024 to $1.37 billion in 2025; and the pending Paramount Skydance acquisition of WBD that will fold Global Streaming and Games into a much larger combined company. He is the executive most often quoted on those storylines on WBD’s earnings calls and in trade interviews.
