Fiona Lang

BBC Worldwide has promoted its head of business and legal affairs Fiona Lang to chief operation officer for Australia and New Zealand in a round of promotions across the regional team.

Lang joined the BBC over two years ago after working in private practice where she advised broadcasters, publishers, distributors and new media clients, working with media companies such as Foxtel.

Her promotion comes as Alistair McEwan, vice president for advertising sales for BBC Worldwide in Australia and New Zealand, takes on new responsibilities as director of advertising sales and brand partnerships.
