Georgia Juvelis to Step Down as AMC Global Media Communications Chief After 19 Years

Georgia Juvelis will step down as chief communications officer of AMC Global Media at the end of 2026, closing a 19-year tenure at the company behind AMC Network, AMC+, IFC, SundanceTV and BBC America. Yahoo reported the departure on October 26, 2026.

Juvelis's Exit and the Communications Shift

With Juvelis's departure, the AMC Global Media communications team will shift to reporting into the business units it serves. Longtime executives Jim Maiella, Olivia Dupuis and Matt Pollack will remain key players in steering corporate communications, talent and entertainment activities.

"Georgia has been an important part of our community for 19 years, and we are deeply grateful for her years of service, leadership and dedication," said Kristin Dolan, CEO of AMC Global Media. Dolan said Juvelis was a trusted colleague and partner who helped guide the company's communications through some of its most important moments.

Juvelis joined the company in 2007, when it was still called Rainbow Media and operated under the Dolan family's Cablevision corporate structure. She wrote in a note to staff that she arrived expecting her first child and is leaving after dropping her daughter off at college. "The parallels of these milestones and the life lived between them make me simultaneously wistful and entirely grateful, for all of it," she wrote. Juvelis also thanked her longtime communications colleagues Maiella, Dupuis and Pollack, and named her former boss Josh Sapan as a friend and mentor.

AMC Global Media's Leadership and Scale

AMC Global Media appointed Hozefa Lokhandwala as chief financial officer effective June 16, 2026, according to akta.pro company records. The company's Broadcasting & Technology operation originates and distributes programming viewed by more than 150 million people daily, and it delivers programming to subscribers in over 100 countries and territories. Streaming subscribers declined 3% to 10.1 million, the same records show.
