Today we are announcing that Adam Crozier will join ITV as Chief Executive. Adam is a terrific leader who has a great track record in bringing transformational change to consumer businesses [LOL], as well as considerable experience of advertising, of regulated industries and new media. I am personally delighted he is joining us and am very confident he will bring new impetus and leadership to our programme of change [oh, i'm sure].
Even in the short time I have been here I have seen enough to know that we have great broadcast, production and television talent [?]. The challenge for the Chief Executive is to help us bring our company together, build a changed organisation, encourage pace of delivery, attract new talent and bring out the best in our own people [he's fucked then].
I can tell you that Adam's appointment follows a very thorough search which included some very high calibre candidates [LMFAO]. There is no shortage of talented people who would like to join us on our journey of transformation [amd they are precisely where at this moment?].
Adam will join ITV after he completes his handover at the Royal Mail [good luck with that]. I hope however you will all have a chance to meet him before long. This brings to an end a long period of uncertainty for ITV and means we can now focus wholeheartedly on the challenge ahead.
In the meantime, we will continue to build on the platform for change established in the last 12 months under John Cresswell's very capable leadership [haha!]. John will continue as Interim Chief Executive until Adam arrives and I am very grateful to him for his professionalism, skill, and dedication.
You will find more details on Adam below. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to let me know.
Best regards"
