New Scottish Screen CEO appointed
Scottish Screen has announced the appointment of Ken Hay as its new Chief Executive.
Announcing the appointment Ray Macfarlane, Chair of Scottish Screen, said: "I am delighted that Ken will be joining Scottish Screen. He has been working in a similar role in the East Midlands for the last three years so brings very relevant experience from another UK screen agency. It’s great to know he will be able to hit the ground running and provide a fresh perspective on our activities here in Scotland.”
Ken Hay, born in Edinburgh, has been Chief Executive of EM Media in Nottingham since it was set up in 2001 to bring together the EMMI Production Fund, the East Midlands Screen Commission, the film development unit of East Midlands Arts and the East Midlands element of Midlands Media Training Consortium.
Hay said: "This is a fantastic time to be joining Scottish Screen. The cultural economy of film and media in Scotland continues to develop rapidly, particularly with the opportunities presented by the ongoing shift to digital - both for audiences and producers. Scottish Screen needs to be leading the development of the sector from the front, ensuring its commitment to talent, opportunity, enterprise, inclusion and access are constantly met.
"I'm really looking forward to working with the whole of the Scottish film and media community in seizing these opportunities."
Hay (40) is to join Scottish Screen in April 2005.
