Harmeen Mehta, chief digital officer (CDO) and innovation officer, BT Group is leaving the company to lead the London-headquartered Group’s Digital unit. This is because the company has created a permanent new strategy role.

Meanwhile, Tom Meakin, who joined as interim chief strategy and change officer, will be appointed to the strategy role permanently from November 1, 2024.

Howard Watson, chief networks and security officer, will lead Digital in the interim alongside his current role while the company recruits a permanent CDO.
