The BBC has announced the names
of the six talented people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds
(BAME) recruited for its ‘Senior Leadership
Development Programme’.
The scheme, in association with the Clore Leadership Programme, is a key element
of plans designed to ensure the BBC represents all communities in modern
Britain and the aim is to
encourage those selected to consider and apply for careers as senior leaders in
the broadcast industry.
The six participants,
and their backgrounds, are:
· Tim
Pemberton, Managing Editor of BBC Radio Bristol.
· Serra
Tezisler, former HR Business Partner for Ricoh.
· Nelson
Abbey, who has extensive experience in the financial sector and is a columnist
for The Voice newspaper.
· Dr
Rob Berkeley, former Director of the Runnymede Trust.
· Marcelle
Moncrieffe-Johnson, BBC Head of HR Support.
· Ade
Adeluwoye, former Head of Brand for Coca-Cola at marketing agency Zone.
The successful candidates, chosen from more than 300 applicants, have a
proven track record in leading teams and projects in a variety of organisations
and will undertake a 12-month
training programme alongside one of the BBC’s board members, including
Director-General Tony Hall and James Purnell, Director of Strategy and Digital.
As well as
being involved in the running of the BBC at the highest level they will also be
trained by the Clore Leadership Programme, the UK’s pioneering leadership
development initiative for the cultural and creative sectors. It has also
been announced today that Nelson Abbey and Ade Adeluwoye will receive Clore
Fellowships while the other four scheme participants will attend Clore
residential leadership courses.
Tony Hall,
BBC Director-General, said: “‘I’m excited about this partnership and the
difference it’s going to make. For the first time, we’re bringing together the
world of broadcasting, with arts and culture, to inspire new ideas – and new
leaders. I wish our first fellows, and all our successful candidates,
every success.”
Sue Hoyle,
Director of the Clore Leadership Programme, said: “The Clore Leadership Programme shares the BBC’s commitment to
developing the broadest possible range of talent and enabling people to reach
their absolute potential as leaders. We’ve been hugely impressed by the quality
of the applicants and the diverse range of experiences they bring with them.
I’m excited about the exchange of ideas across the cultural and broadcasting
sectors, and the contributions that the BBC participants will make to the
programme. We look forward to working with them and to developing our
partnership with the BBC.”
All six recently took up their placements right at the very top of the BBC
alongside Director-General Tony Hall and Executive Board members.
This announcement
follows the recruitment of six ‘Commissioners of
the Future’ in February 2015. They will be embedded in entertainment, comedy, factual, daytime, children’s
programming and across BBC Two and BBC Four for a 12-month traineeship as part of the Assistant Commissioner Development
Programme.
