Jen Salke Steps Down as Head of Amazon MGM Studios

She has been with Amazon since 2018

Jennifer Salke will be leaving Amazon MGM Studios after a seven-year tenure. Salke, who was elevated to head of Amazon MGM Studios in November 2022, will still be tied to Amazon, as she signed a first-look film and TV production deal.

Salke’s departure was announced last Thursday by Mike Hopkins, Amazon’s head of Prime Video and MGM Studios. In a memo to staffers, Hopkins said, “I can’t say enough to express my thanks to Jen for her partnership.”  He added, “Starting with my personal day one in 2020, her vision, creativity, and industry relationships were (and are) so apparent that I had no doubt our work together could be transformative not only to Amazon, but also to the industry as a whole.”
