We now discover why the BBC Board was asked to approve more money for non-execs on the Commercial Board. Sir Damon Buffini has been shopping, and brought in three new faces.
Gary Newman (BA Yale, JD USC Law Centre) was Chairman & CEO of Fox Television Group, which included Fox Broadcasting Co. and Twentieth Century Fox Television, until its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company. During his tenure at Fox he oversaw development and production of such shows as 24, Glee, Modern Family, Homeland, 911 and The Masked Singer. He has a vineyard in Santa Anita, California.
Ian Griffiths, 56, was Deputy CEO and CFO of market intelligence agency Kantar from 2020 to 2022. Between 2008 and 2019 he served as CFO and COO of ITV plc and was previously CFO of EMAP plc. He still seems to be an advisor to Bain - are we ok about that ?
Claire Hungate (BA Film Studies, mainly Truffaut, Warwick, MA West London, five missing years, then law conversion course and 'pupillage' at the Old BBC Resources) has held the roles of CEO of Warner Bros TV Production UK, COO of Shed Media, and Managing Director of Wall to Wall.
