Recruitment woes

More diversity worries at the top of the BBC. Non-executive director Tom Ilube, on the Board since 2017, is leaving before his current term is up (2023) for a new gig as chairman of the RFU. 

Tom, 57, a self-described 'introvert geek', was crowned "Britain's most influential black person" in 2017. Born in Isleworth to an English mother and Nigerian father, Ilube spent his formative years between the UK, Uganda, and his dad’s country of birth.  His dad Nat spent some time as a BBC TV Engineer, and had the mixed pleasure of behind the scenes work on The Black and White Minstrel Show.
