James Cridland

I have hands-on experience in the space where traditional radio and new media collide. I have successfully led energetic small teams, and worked on editorial, technical and platform strategy, delivering significantly enhanced revenue for digital media services. I emphasise collaboration and open ways of working with the teams I lead and am involved in.

I am internationally recognised as a thought leader in this space, and am regularly asked to speak in conferences and attend strategy planning events. I have organised and chaired successful industry conferences, and have been interviewed about radio's future by broadcasters like the BBC, the CBC, NPR, and the UK commercial radio network.

I am passionate about great radio, and am driven by radio's excellence as a medium and the need to retain radio's relevance in a modern media landscape.
