The business marketing leader and Jewish philanthropist  Eric Salama has been appointed as the new chair of the Comic Relief.

Mr Salama – who recently stepped down as the CEO of international research, insight and data consultancy Kantar – will succeed BBC Studios chief executive Tim Davie in the new role at the charity on July 1.

A key part of Mr Salama’s role will be overseeing the charity’s long-term response to Covid-19 and looking at new ways of operating as a result of the pandemic.

The pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on all aspects of the voluntary sector and on vulnerable communities, and will do for years to come.
