MUMBAI: Brian Sullivan will assume the post of CEO of German pay-TV platform Sky Deutschland with effect from 1 April 2010.

Sullivan will replace Mark Williams who will relinquish office at the end of March.

Sullivan who is currently the managing director of the customer group at BSkyB will assume the coveted post in the beginning of 2010 and will work along with Williams for three months.

Talking about the change in leadership, Sky Deutschland chairman of Supervisory Board Markus Tellenbach said, "Mark Williams has made an enormous contribution to Sky in a short period of time. He joined in extraordinary circumstances and moved quickly to stabilize the business, closing the security gap, recapitalizing the company, securing new Bundesliga rights and launching the new pay TV service Sky-all in little over a year."
