Carol Lombardini, leader of labor negotiations with Hollywood’s guilds as president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, is set to step down from the group representing the top studios after 15 years as its president. She’s staying on until her retirement next year, as well as continuing in an advisory role going forward.

The move comes after Lombardini oversaw long, contentious negotiations with the top guilds last year that included strikes by two of those groups, the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA. Those strikes have been blamed as part of what’s led to the entertainment industry’s contraction through this year, with an uncertain future ahead.
