Arts Sector Appointments: Louise Herron Joins Powerhouse Parramatta, Ausfilm Board Reappointments

Louise Herron, who previously served as the CEO of the Sydney Opera House, has taken on the role of Strategic Adviser at Powerhouse Parramatta after CEO Lisa Havilah's recent exit. Herron will support the museum as it gears up for its inauguration on 7 November. In another development, Ausfilm, the Australian film agency, has announced significant board reappointments: Yasmine Lintmeijer, Head of Disney Studios Australia, will continue for another three years, while Emma Drummond, VP of Studio Management at Netflix Animation Studios in Sydney, has been reelected as Deputy Chair. These changes highlight the evolving leadership landscape within Australia’s arts and cultural sector as organizations prepare for important openings.
