Carol Lombardini to Step Down as President of AMPTP
After more than 40 years with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, Carol Lombardini is preparing to step down from her role as chief negotiator of labor contracts for Hollywood’s major studios and streamers.
Lombardini had long planned to retire in 2025, AMPTP confirmed. She will remain at the helm as the organization conducts a search for her successor.
“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 organization said in a statement. “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.”
Lombardini joined the AMPTP around the time of its inception in 1982 as a powerful bargaining unit representing all of Hollywood’s major studios. She was promoted to president in 2009 following the death of its longtime leader, Nick Counter.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported news of Lombardini’s retirement.
