Tim Davie, the outgoing director-general of the BBC, is poised to take on a prominent new role as co-chair of the Creative Industries Council following his departure from the corporation.
The 58-year-old is scheduled to assume the position on 1 August, succeeding Sir Peter Bazalgette. His exit from the BBC will see interim director-general Rhodri Talfan Davies step in on 2 April, before former Google executive Matt Brittin takes the permanent helm on 18 May.
