Imax CEO Rich Gelfond’s Contract Extended Through 2025
The extension comes as Imax has made several other changes to its core leadership, including hiring former Warner Media human resources executive Michele Golden as its Global Chief People Officer. The company also promoted finance executive Natasha Fernandes as its new CFO and named Jennifer Horsley as SVP of investor relations.While movie theaters have struggled to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic — with Regal Cinemas parent company Cineworld filing for bankruptcy — Imax has seen faster recovery thanks to strong performance from various blockbusters, most notably “Top Gun: Maverick,” which has taken more than $100 million from its $1.46 billion global box office run from Imax screenings alone.
