Sundance Institute’s Joana Vicente Steps Down As CEO; Amanda Kelso Named Acting CEO


Joana Vicente has announced her intention to step down as CEO of the Sundance Institute, with Amanda Kelso stepping up as Acting CEO.

“After two and half inspiring years, I have made the decision to begin a new chapter and will be moving on from my role as CEO of Sundance Institute,” wrote Vicente in a letter to staff. Joining the Sundance Institute as the world was coming out of the Covid pandemic, Vicente helped bring the festival back in person, at the same time making it more accessible online. Over these four years, her skill set from decades of work at the intersection of storytelling and technology has helped contribute to the strategic decisions the board plays a role in,” Burnough said.
