\n\tLONDON: The U.K.’s BBC has tapped Matthew Postgate, its current controller for R&D, to be its new chief technology officer.<\/p>\n
\n\tPostgate will report to Anne Bulford, the managing director of finance and operations. He’ll be responsible for delivering the corporation’s tech strategy, which will encompass the delivery and management of broadcast and enterprise tech infrastructure, along with the BBC’s IT requirements. As the controller of R&D, Postgate led several teams working on innovation, Internet technologies and operations.<\/p>\n
\n\t“Matthew knows technology, he knows the BBC and he knows how crucial this role is for the BBC,” Bulford said. “He has all the qualities needed to excel in this position and I know he will bring innovation, expertise and value to the BBC. I would also like to thank Peter Coles for his excellent stewardship of the team over the year as interim CTO.”<\/p>\n
\n\t“It’s been a huge honor for me to lead a number of teams within BBC Future Media,” Postgate added. “They are the best in the business and leaders in their field—just look at the BBC’s World Cup UHD trials—but opportunities like this are rare and I didn’t want it to pass me by. I look forward to working with my new colleagues in Technology.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
