TalkTalk Group has appointed the CEO of YouView as its new General Manager of Group Product.
Susie Buckridge has led the digital television platform, which is owned by TalkTalk, as well as BT, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, since February 2019.
At launch, she was its Director of Product and Business Development and prior to that she was Head of Strategy at the BBC.
“We are delighted to welcome Susie to TalkTalk. She is a strong product innovator with deep experience in software delivery and bringing simple frictionless products to market,” said TalkTalk CEO Tristia Harrison.
“Susie’s experience at YouView and at the BBC cements our commitment to offering U.K. consumers simple affordable content streamed via super-fast Full Fibre Connectivity.”
At Manchester-based TalkTalk, Buckridge will lead a new group product practice across its consumer, wholesale and B2B business operations.
“TalkTalk has always been innovative and challenged the status quo. As we move to a Full Fibre and Smart Home world, TalkTalk is uniquely free to offer the great products and offerings that will transform our connected lives. I look forward to joining the team,” she added.
YouView is an on demand TV service which is offered as part of broadband subscription from TalkTalk and BT.
