Added Berry: “It has been an absolute honour to have led BAFTA. We are the only global arts charity representing film, games and television, and I am incredibly proud of our work enabling talented people from all backgrounds to progress their careers in these industries, as well as our ability to reach and inspire global audiences with our awards ceremonies, events and content.”
BAFTA chair Krishnendu Majumdar led the tributes to Berry, describing her as a “loyal and outstanding” leader. “Under her leadership she has cemented BAFTA’s annual Film Awards ceremony as one of the most important and credible film industry occasions in the world,” he said. “Her passion for supporting talent and her steadfast belief that ‘talent is everywhere but opportunity is not’ is evident in the huge expansion of BAFTA’s year-round global learning and talent development programme.
Berry first joined BAFTA in 1998 and became CEO in 2000. She is also a director of BAFTA Enterprises, BAFTA Media Technology, sustainability organization Albert, and 195 Piccadilly, BAFTA’s hospitality and corporate hire business. “Throughout her tenure, Amanda has ensured BAFTA has continued to evolve and reflect the many changes in the screen industries,” said Barbara Broccoli, 007 producer and BAFTA vice president for film. “She will leave BAFTA with an incredible legacy, having successfully delivered its most ambitious project to date, the redevelopment of 195 Piccadilly and the dramatic expansion of BAFTA’s learning and talent programme.
