New Position - "UK VOD LLP"

I'm able to say where I'm heading - I'm the new CTO for a company currently known as 'UK VOD, LLP" which is a joint venture between the BBC Worldwide, ITV and Channel 4 to supply VOD content to the UK market

There are some rather non-trivial regulatory issues with the company which makes this position just a wee bit risky, all of which are summarized here.

This will either be a great thing for me or my shortest career to date. I can't worry too much about the issues at hand and will let the legal groups figure it out and hope for the best. In the mean time I've got a product to help build and I'm looking forward to getting into it come Monday.

My first meetings are ironically on the west coast so I do not arrive in London until next weekend.

Good Afternoon Mark

I am very interested in speaking with you as I work for a specialist recruiter in the UK and have recently been delivering to a project within BT Media & Broadcast. The reason for my contact is that I am representing an individual with over 13 years Broadcast Media experience and a specialist in Content Projects.

The candidate holds extensive skills in 3 areas which are Programme/Project Management, Business Technology Design (inc’ Analysis & Engineering) and Broadcast Media Consultancy.

He is coming to the end of his current contract and has expressed a specific keen interest in the Kangaroo VOD project so has asked me to look at avenues into the business. I understand from my research of the subject through LinkedIn, FT.com and Blogger that you are now the CTO for this project so felt it prudent that I take the initiative and contact you directly. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you further and to present our candidate for consideration.

I would be grateful if you could contact me on 08452 453100 or ken.alder@urecruitment.com to discuss the matter in more depth and look forward to speaking with you.

Regards
