SMPTE Appoints Sally-Ann D'Amato as Interim Head Executive Director
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) has announced a significant change in leadership. Sally-Ann D'Amato, the current director of events and governance liaison at SMPTE, has been appointed as the interim executive director, effective immediately.
D'Amato's appointment follows the departure of David Grindle, who served as SMPTE's executive director since April 2022. Grindle, prior to his tenure at SMPTE, was the executive director of the United States Institute for Theatre Technology.
With over 23 years of experience with SMPTE, D'Amato has been involved in almost every aspect of the organization's operations and governance. Her leadership qualities have been praised by Reynard Jenkins, SMPTE's President, who finds them refreshing and effective.
In her statement, D'Amato emphasized the importance of the collective efforts of all SMPTE members and partners for the ongoing success of the organization. She expressed her enthusiasm about working with SMPTE colleagues, members, and partners to shape the future of the society. D'Amato believes in the shared community's continued vitality and is excited about the possibilities for SMPTE's future progress.
Reynard Jenkins also looks forward to supporting D'Amato as she continues to provide extraordinary service to the SMPTE community. He stated that D'Amato has a deep understanding of the society's operations and mission, making her an ideal choice for the interim executive director role.
D'Amato will play a key role in ensuring continuity in SMPTE's initiatives during a time of transition. SMPTE is an engineering society and international standards-setting body for motion imaging and media technology, and D'Amato's expertise and dedication will undoubtedly contribute to its continued success.
The Society for Cinema and Television Technology was led by Walter Troeltzsch before Sally-Ann D'Amato was appointed interim managing director. SMPTE's members and partners can look forward to D'Amato's leadership as she navigates the organization through this transition period and beyond.
In conclusion, the appointment of Sally-Ann D'Amato as interim executive director is a testament to her dedication and commitment to SMPTE. Her extensive experience and leadership qualities will undoubtedly serve the organization well during this time of change.
