Experienced Sports Media Executive Jim Irving to Join Forbidden Board of Directors 02 November 2015
LONDON Nov. 2, 2015 Forbidden, makers of the market-leading professional video editing software, Forscene, today announced the appointment of Jim Irving as non-executive director. Irving s immediate appointment to the board is a part of the company s overall leadership restructuring designed to strengthen the commercial capability of the team.
Irving possesses a wealth of experience in developing and growing companies within the digital sports-production sector. His position with deltatre Media from 2008 to 2015 saw him responsible for all commercial activity in the U.K., South Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as for all of the company s marketing and communication activity. Before joining deltatre, Irving s background was in hands-on sports production, with roles including executive producer of the BBC s football highlights programme "Match of the Day" and head of digital production projects at BBC Future Media & Technology.
"I ve worked extensively with the Forscene team during my time at deltatre and have been impressed with their work in digital rights post-production," Irving said. "I m excited to help the team maximise Forscene s potential in the sports sector and to find new, innovative ways of using Forbidden s consumer products in crossover industries."
Irving recently founded Fanview Consultancy LLP, a sports content and technology business that helps rights owners maximise the value of their content through fan engagement. The company aims to design and build compelling and engaging sports-fan experiences by producing engaging content, creating new sports and fan concepts, building a social presence, and monetising sports audiences.
"There s no doubt that Jim s experience and contacts within the sports industry will be invaluable to our growth within this key sector," said Aziz Musa, CEO at Forbidden. "His commercial acumen and entrepreneurial spirit are a perfect fit for our new leadership team, and we re thrilled that he s accepted the position on our board."
