The BBC has appointed Rhodri Talfan Davies as deputy director general, following his tenure as interim chief of the broadcaster before Matt Brittin was hired.

He will be second-in-command to Brittin, who officially joined the BBC as its new director general last month after serving as president of EMEA business and operations at Google. Davies was selected after a “competitive internal recruitment process” and will be “responsible for shaping and delivering the BBC’s editorial strategy and safeguarding the public’s trust in the BBC,” according to a press release.
