Williams moves to Worldwide from the BBC’s press office, where she is chief press officer.
Prior to joining the broadcaster, she worked in government comms at the Department for International Development and the Department of Health.
Williams replaces Philip Fleming who has moved to become head of comms for BBC Worldwide’s home entertainment business.
