Carol Lombardini, president of the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers since 2009, is stepping down from the role.After 15 years in the top spot at the studio and streamer rep, she will be moving to an advisory role, we hear.

An AMPTP spokesperson said Thursday that Lombardini had long planned to retire in 2025. “We are incredibly grateful to Carol for her many years of leadership at the AMPTP and wish her the very best in her retirement,” the spokesperson said. “She has been a steady and invaluable advocate at the bargaining table, strengthening relationships with our union partners every step of the way.

We are glad Carol isn’t going far as she will continue to serve as President while we continue to conduct a full search for her successor, and that she will then move to an advisory role as we continue our transition to the next generation leaders at the AMPTP.”  The news comes just more than a year after twin Hollywood labor strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA crippled Hollywood, actions that are still impacting the industry from the film and TV industries to exhibition and local production.

The search for her replacement is underway, we hear, and is expected to dig deep into the labor lawyer and industry-executive ranks.
