After being appointed as SMPTE’s interim executive director last October, Sally-Ann D’Amato has now taken on the role permanently.
D’Amato joined the organisation in 2001, working as an administrative assistant. She was promoted to executive assistant in 2003, before being appointed director of operations in 2005. In 2016, she became director of events and governance liaison.
“I’m honoured to accept the role of executive director,” said D’Amato. “After more than two decades with the Society, I’m humbled to be chosen as its leader. I will continue to work toward a Society that is efficient, innovative, and united.
“My goal as executive director is to encourage more collaboration across sections to create more opportunities for members, strengthen the standards community, and reinforce the organisation’s infrastructure. This will be enacted through a mission we’re calling ‘We Are All One SMPTE.’”
