BT Group has integrated its strategy and innovation teams to accelerate its digital transformation.
The new Strategy and Change team has integrated all strategy work across BT Group and will be responsible for driving large transformation projects across customer experience and connectivity.
BT Group’s product innovation and technology partnerships capability will also move under the remit of the S&C team.
Tom Meakin, who joined the Company in April as interim Chief Strategy and Change Officer, will be appointed to the role permanently from 1st November. Tom joined BT Group from McKinsey & Company where he was a senior partner leading its Consumer Tech and Media industry practice.
BT Group’s Digital unit will now focus exclusively on its digital transformation, working on modernisation of platforms and as a catalyst for digital thinking, platforms and architecture.
Following these changes, Harmeen Mehta, Chief Digital and Innovation Officer, will take the next move in her career, outside of BT Group.
Howard Watson, Chief Networks and Security Officer, will lead Digital in the interim alongside his current role.
Allison Kirkby, BT Group Chief Executive, said: “These changes are important steps towards simplifying BT Group and accelerating our digital transformation.”
