ONdigital Rebuilds Senior Team With Operating Officer Appointment

ONdigital has completed its senior director line-up with the appointment of Rob Fyfe to the newly-created position of chief operating officer. Fyfe joins the digital terrestrial broadcaster from Telecom New Zealand where he was general manager, consumer.

Fyfe’s appointment to the ONdigital team of directors follows a stormy period at the company during which a number of senior figures departed (see Further Staff Changes At ONdigital). The directorial team now comprises Guy Laurence as director of sales and marketing; Jeanette Wilkins, finance director; Simon Dore, director of operations; Graeme Stanley, director of broadcasting and Marcus Ezekiel, director of legal and business affairs.

Chief executive Stuart Prebble commented: “The team now has the right blend of experience from ONdigital’s launch year and new talent from outside. From a standing start we have grown a business that now employs over 1,200 people … The news of analogue switch-over within the decade [see Chris Smith Sets Out Digital Agenda] is a great boost for digital terrestrial and ONdigital “.
