CEO Resigns Suddenly From American Ballet Theater

Janet Rollé, the leader helping the company recover from the pandemic, unexpectedly resigns without explanation.
Rollé's departure comes just one week before the start of the company’s summer season after 17 months on the job.
Founding artistic director Susan Jaffe will serve as interim executive director during the search for Rollé’s successor.
Rollé faced several challenges in her short tenure, including navigating the company through COVID-19 and the departure of renowned choreographer Alexei Ratmansky.
Rollé was the first person of color to lead the prestigious American dance company.
