Carol Lombardini, president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) since 2009, is set to retire in 2025 after over 40 years with the organization. Lombardini's departure follows her leadership during the challenging negotiations resulting from the recent writers' and actors' strikes that severely impacted Hollywood. She will move to an advisory role while the AMPTP conducts a search for her successor, with her deputy, Tracy Cahill, expected to lead ongoing negotiations with the Animation Guild. AMPTP spokespersons have expressed gratitude for Lombardini's contributions, noting her effectiveness in fostering relationships with union partners. Her retirement comes at a time when the industry faces uncertainties in the wake of significant labor actions. Lombardini’s legacy includes negotiating over 80 contracts on behalf of Hollywood's major studios and streamers.
