\n\tLONDON: UKTV has expanded the remit of its CFO, Jan Gooze-Zijl, to include advertising sales, technology and operations following the departure of Julia Jordan, the executive director of business and operations.<\/p>\n
\n\tGooze-Zijl now takes the role of chief financial and operations officer, effective immediately. In his new role, the exec will oversee UKTV’s relationships with C4 Sales and Sky Media Ireland, with UKTV now making up slightly more than 9 percent of British commercial viewing. He will also oversee all technical and operational aspects of UKTV, owning relationships with Red Bee Media and TVT, and delivering linear and non-linear services, including UKTV’s first digital-only brand, UKTV Play. Gooze-Zijl also continues to direct UKTV’s company finances: setting financial targets, controlling profitability and cash-flow and management accounting.<\/p>\n
\n\t“Jan has been instrumental in the strong growth of the business over the last four years,” said UKTV Chief Executive Darren Childs. “His new and expanded remit will naturally align elements of the business that are fundamental to delivering UKTV’s continued success.”<\/p>\n
\n\tGooze-Zijl commented: “I’m looking forward to bringing these teams together, and in doing so, building a world-class capability to deliver our programming to UKTV’s millions of viewers, helping UKTV on its incredible growth journey with both its core linear channels and vital new business streams such as UKTV Play.”<\/p>\n
\n\tHe added: “UKTV is the fastest growing commercial broadcaster and of increasing significance to British advertisers, with Dave alone offering advertisers greater reach among ABC1 and 16-34 year old men than Sky Sports. This year, the SOCI (share of commercial impacts) for our imaginative portfolio of channels has reached 9.1%, a gain of 17% over the same period in 2013 making our network superb value for advertisers, and offering full coverage across all demos and a fast-growing number of platforms.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
