The two representatives selected to join the board are: Fiona Ball, Group Director, Bigger Picture at Sky; and Jeremy Mathieu, Head of Sustainability at ITV.
BAFTA albert Chair Ralph Lee said: “The severity of the climate crisis requires the input of the best minds and those with the greatest passion to make a difference. The new BAFTA albert board is an exceptional group of experts who will be able to use their insights and experience to make a genuine impact on the work albert does. I’m excited to bring together the board alongside our industry partners and work together to deliver against BAFTA albert’s ambitious three-year strategy.”
Matt Scarff, Managing Director of BAFTA albert, added: “The appointment of the BAFTA albert board completes the delivery of the strategic review that began in 2023. I’m excited to begin working with them and building on the impact of BAFTA albert’s work to date.”
