Corporate headhunters Egon Zehnder have approached senior ABC management and former board members to assess the suitability of ABC managing director Mark Scott for the BBC’s top job. It is understood the headhunters have approached individuals to assess Mr Scott’s suitability to be placed on a shortlist of candidates to be presented to the BBC by Easter, detailing replacements for BBC Director-General Mark Thompson.Mr Thompson, who has been BBC director-general for eight years, has not announced his departure, but it is expected sometime after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June and the Olympic Games in July. One former ABC board member “couldn’t confirm or deny” they had been approached but said, “there is no question in my mind that the BBC would look internationally and he’s got a lot of things going for him”.
