Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy Pascal Is Probably The Nicest Person Ever

Amy Pascal was named Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment in September 2006 and has served as Chairman of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group since December 2003. Aside from her responsibilities with Sony Pictures, Amy basically oversees all development and production activities at Columbia Pictures. This is a person that is living a seriously stressful life and is probably busier than I could ever imagine. She and Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Michael Lynton report to Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. And of course that means that she is naturally present at many movie premieres, events, and so forth where her picture is taken with stars or other powerhouse figures in the industry. However, I started to notice after a few pictures she is always sandwiched in the middle of important people, or simply smiling and hugging in just about every shot. It’s obvious that Amy brings a ton of charisma into a room and has an incredible personality.

Is Amy Pascal the friendliest, nicest executive in the history of Sony? I don’t think Akio Morita was this charming. Let’s take a look.
