“I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved during my time at the helm, transforming our offer and supporting iPlayer to become the fastest growing streamer in the UK.

“I want to thank my colleagues, my brilliant team and all the incredible producers, directors, writers and on screen and on air talent who’ve made it such a thrilling ride.”

“The BBC is an extraordinary place to work and plays a vital role in the UK’s creative ecology.

“There’s nowhere quite like it that backs risk taking, innovation and homegrown creativity with such commitment and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the very best programme makers in the business.

“So it’s been a tough decision to leave a job I love and an institution I believe in.

“But I’ve decided the time is right for a new challenge and a new adventure and to follow my heart to return to making shows.

“It’s an honour to join the brilliant team at Left Bank Pictures to become CEO of one of the UK’s most successful production companies.

“I’m excited to be returning to programme making and I’m thrilled to be joining Wayne Garvie and Sony Pictures Television as EVP, creative director.”
