BBC restructures, combines COO and CFO roles

BBC has combined the functions of chief operating officer and the chief financial officer under one person. 

Anne Bulford has been made MD finance and operations, making her run the twin roles of COO and CFO. 

Bulford, who will sit on the BBC's Executive and Worldwide Boards, will oversee the finance, operations, technology, legal, risk and assurance and property functions. The role will also cover commercial rights and business affairs. 

Her appointment follows the announcement last year that the BBC's current CFO Zarin Patel will be stepping down.
