Nominated by Kat Lennox , Head of Development BBC Studios
Newton is a senior team leader with over 16 years in the business. She is a good manager, strategic thinker and people person and leads the development team in the Factual Entertainment team at BBC Studios. She has an extensive career in development and has also worked as an Executive Producer and Supervising Producer for BBC3 and was an SP for a number of successful shows like Hot Properly. I believe she would benefit from having a mentor to help her progress to the next level. Her aim is to grow into a more senior role and she has shown that she has the potential to do that with the right support around her. I really believe she would benefit and make the most of this opportunity.
