Ashley Highfield joined the BBC in October 2000 as Director of New Media & Technology
He is responsible for the BBC's output on the internet; bbc.co.uk and interactive TV; BBCi, as well as new and emerging platforms such as mobile and broadband.
Before joining the BBC, Highfield worked at Flextech TV , the pay-TV channel provider that later merged with Telewest.
Highfield is now one of 9 members of the BBC's Executive Board following a shake up in senior management at the BBC shortly after Mark Thompson's arrival as the new Director General.
The BBC Governors recently published a newer, much tighter, remit for bbc.co.uk following a independently written Government review of the BBC's online activity.
