The Board of Ofcom has today announced that Steve Unger will step up as acting chief executive at the end of the year.
Unger, who is currently director of the Strategy, International, Technology and Economist Group at Ofcom, will step up as interim chief executive when Ed Richards stands down at the end of December.
The Board are currently looking for a permanent replacement, which is due to be announced in the New Year.
In the meantime, Unger will take on the full responsibilities of chief executive and become Ofcom’s accountable officer while the process for appointing a permanent successor to Ed Richards is under way.
