Aberdeen Asset Management chief executive Martin Gilbert has joined the board of FTSE 100-listed broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting.
He has been joined on the board by Matthieu Pigasse, chief executive of Lazard France, as the pair replace non-executive directors Allan Leighton and David Evans.
James Murdoch, chairman of British Sky Broadcasting, says: “They will bring wide-ranging expertise, complementing and adding to the existing skills of our Board. We look forward to welcoming them to BSkyB.”
