The hugely-well respected diversity and inclusion campaigner replaces Alex Pumfrey as CEO at the organization, which was instrumental in helping industry workers during the pandemic and has helped shine a spotlight on mental health issues in the sector.
“The Film and TV Charity is an incredible source of support for people working behind the scenes across the film, TV, and cinema industry, acting as a vital enabler for those facing disadvantage, financial hardship and poor mental health,” said Ryder.
Ryder added that he shared a “deep-seated understanding” with the charity that it would “only be able to fulfil its core aims if it helps the industry address issues of equality, diversity and inclusion.” Alongside Ryder — who will assume his new role in the early autumn — the Film and TV Charity has appointed Claire Tavernier as its new chair of trustees. Tavernier was previously global head of digital at Fremantle. .
