Paramount’s 3 CEOs and 18K Employees?! |...

MANAGEMENT CONSULTED
About this episode

In today’s episode, Jenny Rae and Namaan dig into the surprising scale of Paramount’s workforce amid fresh layoffs - and the eyebrow-raising fact that the media giant is led by three CEOs. But that’s just the jumping-off point. 

The duo zoom out to explore a staggering market insight: while fewer than 4,000 companies are publicly traded in the U.S., over 60,000 private firms are backed by PE or VC. 

It’s a revealing look at where business activity really happens - and why Market Outsiders is committed to covering it.
