Matt Brittin is expected to be announced this week after he was appointed to the position by the BBC board at a meeting on Thursday, The Times reports.
Brittin joined Google in 2007 as its managing director for the UK before leaving his role as president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa nearly 20 years later in 2024.
Since then, the 57-year-old has been on a self-professed "gap year", sharing on LinkedIn: "I’ve already grown a beard, bought a single sculling boat and plan to learn scuba diving from my son when he qualifies as an instructor."
However, he has previously held board positions at The Guardian and the Media Trust, and previously worked in digital journalism at Trinity Mirror plc, the newspaper group now rebranded as Reach.
Brittin became a leading contender for the BBC role in February after other candidates, including Jay Hunt of Apple TV and former Channel 4 chief executive Alex Mahon, withdrew.
Whilst at University of Cambridge, Brittin represented his alma mater three times in the annual Boat Race against Oxford before joining Team GB.
