Amanda Jones has taken on the permanent role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at BBC Studios, following her tenure as the interim CFO.
Starting in August, Jones will assume the position previously held by Lorraine Burgess and join the executive committee at BBC Studios. Additionally, Jones will become a part of the BBC’s commercial board, which is the commercial division of the U.K.’s public broadcasting organization. In this role, Jones will report directly to Tom Fussell, who serves as CEO of BBC Studios/Commercial.
In her role as CFO for the BBC’s commercial group, Jones will be tasked with developing overall financial strategies and managing the associated teams. Additionally, she will be accountable for budgeting, reporting, providing business support, and implementing financial controls. The BBC announced that she will collaborate closely with the CEO and other executive members to formulate strategy that aids in achieving the company’s ambitious commercial objectives, while also working closely with key stakeholders within the BBC Group and external partners.
As a dedicated admirer, I’d like to highlight that the individual boasts an extensive and diverse career in finance. With stints at media giants like Sky, ITV, Emap, and data powerhouse Kantar, her journey is nothing short of impressive. She has held various executive positions in finance, with her most recent role being as CFO of Kantar Worldpanel.
Jones expressed his excitement about becoming part of BBC Studios at this crucial stage in their development. As a globally recognized content provider with a unique identity, BBC Studios has vast possibilities for further progress and creativity. He’s eager to collaborate closely with the executive team to foster lasting growth, enhance our financial planning, and bolster its creative and commercial endeavors on a global scale.
Fussell stated: “Amanda will play a crucial role in expanding BBC Studios’ business in a tough market as she is a seasoned, commercially-minded finance executive with extensive experience at the highest levels in large and international corporations. Her impressive resume includes successfully uniting various businesses and fostering digital growth strategies within traditional media companies.
