The Jewish Museum London has appointed a multiple award-winning producer as its next chief executive.
Sally Angel is an Emmy, Bafta, Royal Television Society and Peabody Award-winning TV and film producer.
She is the creative director of Angelica Films and has made films and TV shows for Channel 4, BBC and HBO.
Before moving into the independent TV production sector, Angel worked at the BBC as an arts producer and was involved in the launch of the BBC’s commercial and digital channels.
She will take up the role next month at the charity which collects, preserves, interprets and exhibits material relating to Jewish history, culture and religious life.
“Angel’s appointment sees a renewed commitment to bringing Jewish Museum London into a digital age by connecting to audiences through storytelling, which is crucial to the future of all museums,” the charity said.
Angel will succeed acting director Sue Shave, who has been in the role since November 2022.
Angel said: “Jewish Museum London tells the story of the Jewish community and its role in the life and society of the United Kingdom, past, present and future.
“The museum now has an extraordinary opportunity to connect its world-class collection with the power of story and use digital innovation to reach wider and more diverse audiences.”
Shave said it had been a privilege to be the acting director of the charity during “one of the most significant periods in its history”.
She said: “I am immensely proud of our extraordinary achievements in becoming a museum without walls and increasing our reach around the UK telling key Jewish stories through our collections and programmes.
“The museum is in good hands with an excellent team and great foundations for an exciting future.”
