These roles have required liaising between editorial, product and strategy teams in order to drive innovation, develop new ways of reaching audiences and increase engagement across the world.

He was the Editor of bbcrussian.com when the website was named the best news website in Russian by industry vote (2010). He has also been involved in several change projects affecting the BBC News division as a whole, devising practical plans of truly placing digital at the heart of everything the BBC does.
