I know first-hand the quality and breadth of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s international journalism, and the global reputation of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service is second to none. I’m looking forward to working with the teams across all our output.

In this role she will be the Director of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service and oversee Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Monitoring and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Media Action.

While Liliane joins the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ from Channel 4 News - where she has been Head of Foreign News, responsible for award-winning high-quality and high-impact journalism - a major part of her journalistic career was built at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ where she began at the French Service.

She went on to manage, present, and edit key areas of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service including Africa and the Middle East, before becoming Controller of Languages where she was editorially responsible for all non-English language services on radio, TV and online.

Liliane also founded the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s staff network, Global Women in News, which remains high-profile and active. Born in Lebanon of an Arab father and a Cuban mother and educated in France and Switzerland, Liliane speaks five languages.

Liliane says: “I am delighted to be re-joining the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to take on this hugely exciting role overseeing Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News' International Services. I know first-hand the quality and breadth of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s international journalism, and the global reputation of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service is second to none. I’m looking forward to working with the teams across all our output.”

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Director of News, Fran Unsworth, says: “I am delighted to welcome Liliane back to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. She has a wealth of experience in the World Service, running languages service teams all over the world. She’s an exceptional editor with a great track record in digital innovation and leading change.”

Liliane will join the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ this autumn.
