The two will report to David Moody, managing director of digital media and director of strategy of BBC Worldwide.

Pritchard will be responsible for driving new revenue streams and spearheading key launches, in the UK and emerging territories. His first project will be to head the launch of BBC Worldwide's iPlayer.

The appointments follow a strong financial year for BBC Worldwide, which has seen an increased focus on international growth.

David Moody, managing director of digital media and director of strategy, said: "I'm delighted to have both Gill and Luke on board. We've picked out the best in the industry to both devise and implement our strategy and these appointments demonstrate BBC Worldwide's commitment to our long-term growth."
