ITV names EasyJet's Carolyn McCall as new chief executive

ITV has appointed the boss of EasyJet, Carolyn McCall, as its new chief executive. ITV's previous chief executive, Adam Crozier, left in June. Ms McCall said the decision to leave EasyJet had been "Really difficult", but after seven years at the company the time was right for a move: "The opportunity from ITV felt like the right one to take. It is a fantastic company in a dynamic and stimulating sector." ITV chairman Peter Bazalgette said: "In a very impressive field of high calibre candidates, Carolyn stood out for her track record in media, experience of an international operation, clear strategic acumen and strong record of delivering value to shareholders. I'm delighted we'll be working together at ITV.". John Barton, EasyJet chairman, said: "I speak for absolutely everyone at EasyJet in saying we will be sorry to see Carolyn leave and that we wish her well in her exciting new role."
