She is an impressive colleague making an impact across our business and we’re all looking forward to her taking on this new pivotal role.”

Lynette Kewley said:

“I am absolutely delighted to have been appointed into this role to help ITV deliver the second phase of our More Than TV strategy. Our ambition to 'Supercharge Streaming' is bold and exciting and the launch of ITVX will be the beginning of a new era for ITV. Rufus and Kelly have fantastic teams in place and I am looking forward to working with them all to deliver our fantastic new streaming service later this year."
