After expanding his role to include Nickelodeon Studios
back in March,
Paramount COO
Andrew Gumpert is exiting the Melrose lot, effective this week. The announcement as just made by studio boss Brian Robbins tonight.
We hear that Gumpert’s exit was amicable, with the exec telling staffers in Robbins’ memo (which you can read below): “I’ve been contemplating the next chapter of my career and I’m excited to figure out what’s next. I am confident that this organization will continue to lead the industry.”
In the wake of Gumpert’s departure, Courtney Armstrong, President of Business Affairs and Administration, will assume responsibilities in Strategic Planning and Labor Relations, with Studio Group President Randall Baumberger overseeing Studio Operations. Both will report to Robbins.
