Giants of U.K. TV and streaming have combined for the fourth iteration of The TV Collective's groundbreaking Breakthrough Leaders program.
Fozia Khan, head of unscripted, Prime Video/Amazon MGM Studios, said: “We want to ensure there is greater representation of diverse creative talent in key decision making roles so that our industry has wider visibility and access, but ultimately, for our audiences/customers to know that their voices are being reflected both in front and behind the camera.” Lisa Hardy, director of HR, BBCS Productions, said: “Whilst it’s great that audiences are seeing more and more on-screen characters and presenters they can identify with, what The TV Collective’s Breakthrough Leaders program uniquely helps to address is representation in senior level roles.” Jessica Schibli, head of creative diversity at BBC, said: “We are proud to be supporting the TV Collective’s Breakthrough Leaders program this year to accelerate the development of underrepresented talent in leadership roles across the U.K.”
