As it happens I would suggest Forest Key - who does work at Microsoft (on Silverlight). Before that he worked at Macromedia (who became Adobe) where he was Product Manager for Flash, so he is adequately qualified ;-)
Apart from all that he is the smartest most focussed individual I have ever met in the Media and Technology space. He would whip FM&T into shape - if anyone could. Reading Ariel yesterday it looks like the BBC have got some serious house cleaning to do on the bureaucracy front. I would think that is one of the largest tasks facing them as an organisation.

If you could seriously put someone into the position of director of future media and technology who would it be and what qualities would you be looking for? I guess I shouldn't really say who I'd like to see, otherwise it will appear in the guardian or something. :) Rob Myers wrote: > Brian Butterworth wrote: > >> Cool.
