Since joining Paramount Pictures as COO in 2017, Gumpert has overseen business, operations and strategic planning for brands such as Sonic, Transformers and Star Trek. He also helped steer the studio’s business through the challenges of the pandemic and started a pipeline to feed content to new streamer Paramount+.
