I'm Adrian Ellis, the Chair of GCDN, and the Director of AEA Consulting, and our guest today on The Three Bells is Hilary Knight. And Hilary is a colleague of mine at AEA. But prior to washing up in consulting, she's had some very real jobs. Hilary was Head of Digital Content and later became Director of Digital at Tate. And before that held uh, similar, important positions of Film4, Channel 4 and BBC.
And so Hilary, the last decade at least of your career has really been on the application of digital technologies to entertainment, to news, to culture. And welcome. And if you could, just tell us how you, how you ended up in this fascinating and very sort of timely space.
