S4C has appointed Llion Iwan as Chief Content Officer.
Iwan is the Managing Director of indie Cwmni Da.
Iwan joined Cwmni Da in 2019 and, under his leadership, the company has increased turnover, was the first to place Welsh language content on Amazon Prime and developed international co-production partnerships.
He started his career as a reporter on local papers before joining the BBC as a journalist – working in various news and sports roles before moving on to produce and direct documentaries for BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4. After a period as a freelance producer for a number of independent companies in Wales, he joined S4C in 2012 as Factual and Sports Content Commissioner before becoming Head of Content Distribution. He left to lead Cwmni Da as Managing Director.
Geraint Evans, Chief Executive of S4C said; “We are extremely proud to have Llion join us in this key role. It is an extremely exciting but challenging time in broadcasting – having Llion’s vast experience of the production sector and his deep understanding of our diverse audiences in Wales will prove extremely valuable to us as we race forward with our digital transformation.”
Llion Iwan said; “I am delighted to have the opportunity to do one of the best jobs in broadcasting in Wales. Wales has so many wonderful and gripping stories to tell – from every corner of the country and every community. I’m looking forward to working with such a creative team of commissioners, the Senior Leadership team and the wider staff at S4C to bring the best content to small and big screens across Wales and beyond.”
He will start in his role as Chief Content Officer in March 2025.
