The DPP, the international network for media and technology, has transferred the role of CEO from Mark Harrison to Rowan de Pomerai, with Harrison now taking the role of founder and chief content officer.
Rowan de Pomerai has been the DPP's CTO since 2018, working with Harrison and COO Kelvin Jones to shape the DPP's strategy. He has previously held senior positions in media and technology companies including the BBC, ITV Studios, and Ooyala, bringing over 15 years of industry experience to the role of CEO.
Mark Harrison (left) and Rowan de Pomerai Harrison spent many years as a filmmaker and producer, before taking on innovation and technology strategy roles at the BBC and then becoming the DPP's first CEO when it was created in 2015. He will now focus on the DPP's content strategy to ensure it delivers the outputs with the greatest value to media organisations and their suppliers.
This change represents the next step in the DPP's evolution, after it became a fully independent organisation in October 2022. The appointment of de Pomerai as CEO will support the company's overall purpose to provide strategic insight, create valuable networking opportunities, and facilitate technical collaboration.
I'm passionate about what the DPP offers the industry: an extensive and influential network that helps leaders to make the right decisions for their business, said de Pomerai. In taking on this role I'll be leading the DPP's team of dedicated and experienced staff, and working as closely as ever with Mark and Kelvin to ensure that our strategy delivers success for the DPP and its members.
The DPP's membership comprises over 500 companies from across the content supply chain, including more than 140 broadcasters and content organisations from around the world.
