Clare in the community

The BBC's new HR boss, Valerie Hughes D'Aeth, is still steaming forward, with a few colleagues going overboard into the wake.

Following the departure of Karl Burnett as HR Director for News, Valerie has advertised for a new 'thought-partner' to be Director of HR for Television. This post was most recently occupied by Clare Dyer, billed on the BBC management website as HR Director, Television, North and Nations - though her Linkedin entry suggests she's now joined BBC Alumni.

Clare was the "dismissing officer" in the case of Chief Technology Officer John Linwood, who won his case for unfair dismissal. The employment tribunal was fairly dismissive of Clare. She gets a nicer endorsement from former BBC tech guru Erik Huggers "I would work with her again in a heartbeat".

Clare keeps her heartbeat up with Pilates, and is interested in positive psychology and its impact on the body.
