Adam Alexander Crozier (born 26 January 1964)[1] is a Scottish businessman who was formerly the chief executive officer of media company ITV plc,[2] operator of the ITV television network covering most of the United Kingdom.
After a career at Saatchi & Saatchi culminating in the post of joint chief executive in 1995, he came to wide public prominence as the new chief executive of The Football Association in 2000 at the age of 35, before in 2003 becoming the chief executive of the Royal Mail Group, the United Kingdom's mail delivery service, where he oversaw a controversial modernisation and redundancy programme. Whilst former Post Office Ltd CEO Paula Vennells has faced much of the wrath for the British Post Office scandal, it was under Crozier's leadership that much of the Horizon computing systems errors and prosecution of innocent sub-post masters occurred.
In January 2010 he was announced as the new chief executive of ITV plc, where he arrived on 26 April 2010. Crozier announced he was leaving this post in June 2017.[3]
Crozier became the chairman of BT Group plc on 1 December 2021.[4]
