Georgia Juvelis to Step Down as AMC Global Media's Chief Communications Officer
Confirmed
In Short: Georgia Juvelis, a 19-year AMC Global Media veteran, will leave her role as Chief Communications Officer at the end of 2026.
Georgia Juvelis, who has served as Chief Communications Officer at AMC Global Media for nearly two decades, announced her departure from the company at the end of 2026. Juvelis joined AMC in 2007, when it was still known as Rainbow Media, and has been instrumental in guiding the company's communications strategy through significant milestones.
Kristin Dolan, CEO of AMC Global Media, expressed gratitude for Juvelis' contributions, stating, '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.' Dolan also noted, 'Throughout her time with us, Georgia has been a trusted colleague and partner to me and to so many throughout the company, and she has helped guide our communications through some of our most important moments.'
Juvelis' tenure at AMC has seen the company transform from a classic movie channel into a destination for prestige drama. She played a pivotal role in the company's public spinoff in 2011, the launch of AMC Studios, and the introduction of streaming services like AMC+, Acorn TV, and Shudder. Her work has been crucial in elevating the profile of AMC's series and franchises, including 'Mad Men,' 'Breaking Bad,' and 'The Walking Dead Universe.'
In her note to staff, Juvelis reflected on her journey at AMC, noting, 'When I first came to AMC, I was expecting my first child, my daughter. I’m leaving AMC after just dropping her off at college.' This poignant observation underscores the personal and professional growth she experienced during her time with the company.
Juvelis' career at AMC has been marked by significant achievements and transitions. She joined the company in 2007, just as AMC was embarking on a game-changing run with prestige TV series like 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad.' Her role in AMC's communications strategy has been vital in raising the company's profile and ensuring its shows, films, and talent received the recognition they deserved.
Prior to AMC, Juvelis held positions at Discovery Communications and News Corp’s Gemstar-TV Guide, where she oversaw corporate communications, publicity, and talent relations. She also ran her own boutique PR firm in New York City and San Francisco, representing clients such as Hearst Communications and PBS.
With Juvelis' departure, AMC Global Media will not be filling her role. Instead, the company plans to move away from a centralized communications structure, with each business unit operating its own communications team while still collaborating with each other. This shift reflects a new approach to managing the company's communications needs.
Colleagues and industry observers expressed their appreciation for Juvelis' contributions and their sadness at her departure. One colleague said, 'Sorry to learn this news; will miss working with Georgia at AMC.'
