The BBC appoints Rhodri Talfan Davies as deputy director general, making him second-in-command to the broadcaster’s new director general, Matt Brittin. The appointment follows Davies’s period as interim leader of the BBC before Brittin takes up the role permanently. Brittin joins the BBC as director general after previously working at Google as president of EMEA business and operations. According to BBC statements reported by multiple outlets, Davies is appointed after an internal recruitment process. He is currently the BBC’s director of nations, and he has been viewed as a leading candidate for the deputy director-general position after he served as caretaker director general during the transition when Tim Davie stepped down earlier in the process. The outlets agree that the move formalizes the leadership team at the top of the BBC and places Davies in a key executive role supporting Brittin as the organization settles into new management arrangements.
