Jonathan Oxley has been appointed as interim Chief Executive at Ofcom.
Jonathan is currently Group Director for Competition and Board member, but will step up as interim Chief Executive when Sharon White leaves at the end of November.

Jonathan Oxley added: “I’m delighted the Board has asked me to become interim Chief Executive. I’m looking forward to delivering on our priorities for people and businesses.”
