Georgia Juvelis will step down as chief communications officer for AMC Global Media at the end of this year, closing a 19-year run at the company behind AMC Network, AMC+, IFC, SundanceTV and BBC America. Her departure marks the end of one of the longest communications tenures in cable television.

Juvelis has steered AMC’s communications through an era of enormous change, from the peak-TV boom to the streaming shift and the consolidation reshaping the media business. AMC Global Media’s portfolio spans prestige drama, film channels and streaming, and its communications operation has had to speak to audiences, talent and the industry across all of them.
Georgia Juvelis AMC departure after 19 years
With her exit, AMC’s communications team will shift to reporting into the business units they serve, rather than through a single central communications chief. Longtime AMC Global executives Jim Maiella, Olivia Dupuis and Matt Pollack will remain key players in steering corporate communications, talent and entertainment activities.
The restructure reflects a broader trend in media companies, where communications functions are increasingly embedded inside individual businesses rather than run as one central department. For AMC, it also signals a new chapter as the company continues to balance its linear channels with its streaming service AMC+.
Juvelis leaves behind a communications operation that guided AMC through some of television’s most talked-about launches and finales. Her successor structure, spread across the business units, will be watched closely by an industry where the way a company tells its own story matters more than ever.
