The executive vice-chairman of investment bank Rothschild has been appointed to the Scott Trust.
Anthony Salz, also former vice-chairman of the BBC, was a corporate lawyer before joining Rothschild in 2006.
He is one of ten directors of the Scott Trust, owner of the Guardian Media Group, which publishes titles such as the Manchester Evening News and Reading Post.
He spent most of his legal career with Freshfields, becoming senior partner in 1996, and was with the BBC from 2004 until the end of 2006.
He is, among other things, chair of the Eden Trust and a trustee of the Royal Opera House, the Tate Foundation, the Media Standards Trust and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Scott Trust chair Liz Forgan said: “Anthony Salz’s wide experience of the cultural, media and corporate worlds will bring valuable strengths to the Trust. We are delighted to welcome him.”
