We have announced the appointment of Miranda Wayland as Creative Diversity Network’s new Chief Executive.
Miranda Wayland is one of the UK television industry’s leading diversity, equality and inclusion executives whose experience encompasses senior leadership positions across some of the world’s largest and most influential broadcasters and streamers. And we are delighted to welcome her to the team.
Joining CDN in September, Miranda will lead the organisation’s activities including overseeing Diamond reports, as well as the implementation of a new, enhanced iteration of the diversity monitoring and reporting tool.
