One presumes that BBC Chief Operating Officer Leigh Tavaziva thinks it likely her current role will be 'restructured' by September. “After five brilliant years, I have taken the opportunity to reflect on my own role at the BBC and have decided that the time is right for me to leave to pursue new opportunities.
The winner out of 'Project Ada' looks to be Frome housewife Storm Fagan, who will run BBC Media Tech, adding what's left of BBC Technology to the software specialists of her Product teams. But which side of the public service divide will the new group sit ? Will BBC Media Tech be a 'commercial' enterprise, like BBC Studios ? There's more, of course, with much more outsourcing, aimed at £100m pa savings. Probably these two helped.
Your misogyny is showing, again. It might sound nice and glib to demean Storm, but your readers may like to know that she started as a software developer, ended up as a product director for Future plc with ten years experience, moved to Just Eat and was Group Product Director and then Chief Product Officer over six years, during which they expanded massively. And now she has a promotion after four years as the BBC's Chief Product Officer. She's more than qualified for the role - I wonder what it could be about her that makes you want to mock her? Do powerful women worry you?
