Adam Crozier is shaking the management tree at ITV. Mary Fagan, who worked with Adam at Royal Mail, finds a berth as group communications and corporate affairs director. She was deputy city editor of the Sunday Telegraph before taking on the task of polishing the posties' image. Though it's not quite a like-for-like replacement, Ruth Settle, who's on maternity leave, moves out.
Chief strategist Carolyn Fairbairn, with a pedigree that includes McKinsey, Downing Street and the BBC, is also moving on at the end of the financial year. Magnus Brooke, another ex-BBC staffer, hangs on. The former speech writer for Greg Dyke and Mark Thompson is Director of Regulatory Affairs. But Simon Pitts moves up into a re-titled role of strategy and transformation manager. (Transformation ? How very 90s) Simon has heady experience of "media issues at the European Parliament in Brussels" and has already been given custody of ITV's Five Year Plan by Adam.
Earlier in the week, Fru Hazlitt, hired by Adam last June, took a surgeon's knife to the company's commercial department. With Paul Dale in place at Technology, will Adam and his new team get the organisational change at Gray's Inn Road (and around the country) that he sought at the FA and Royal Mail ?
