Charles Gurassa, who left Channel 4 this week, brought in as part of wider restructuring

GMG operates the Guardian and its associated outlets on a day-to-day basis. It is in turn owned by the Scott Trust, which is backed by an endowment fund designed to give the Guardian financial security and freedom from editorial interference by an individual proprietor.published in December found that the old relationship between GMG and the Scott Trust boards no longer suited the needs of the organisation.

In turn, the directors of Guardian Media Group will have responsibility for overseeing the Guardian’s business strategy and appointing a chief executive to run commercial operations. As part of this change, two Scott Trust board members with journalistic backgrounds – Emily Bell and Mary Ann Sieghart – moved across to Guardian Media Group.

In addition to Gurassa’s part-time role at the Guardian he will remain chair of the board of directors at other organisations including the aid charity Oxfam, the Migration Museum in London and the rail tour company Great Rail Journeys. He is also a trustee of English Heritage.
