The Times tells us Matt Brittin is a contender to follow Tim Davie as Director General. In many ways, he's a sort of taller Tim; middle class outer London family, private day school, Cambridge graduate, career change (Tim from marketing to broadcasting, Matt from property surveyor to tech business strategy and Google).
Lots to say about Matt, but here's his public job application, accepting a fellowship from the Royal Television Society, 18th November. (Tim Davie resigned on 9th November)
Matt treated 2025 as a sort of late gap year, after leaving Google EMEA in 2024, but has been acquiring some jobs, notably as Senior Independent Director at the Guardian Media Group. You can see in this speech that he's been networking with some vigour.
