DMSL which operates as joint venture between all UK mobile network operators, appointed Meyer following the death of his predecessor Andrew Pinder.
“I look forward to supporting and helping guide DMSL,” said Meyer. “Andrew created a unique organisation that delivers vital support to TV viewers. I seek to help DMSL develop, and to continue its major contribution to making the best and most efficient use of UK spectrum. I’ve no doubt the strong team in the company will also continue to ensure the least amount of disruption to existing users.”
Meyer has a background in consulting, covering cyber and technology issues for public and private sector clients. In 2010, Meyer appointed to chief information officer at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
Prior to that, Meyer served in the British Army as a Royal Signals officer from 1978 to 2010, ending his military career as deputy chief information officer in the MOD.
DMSL CEO, Ben Roome, said spoke on the new appointment saying: “David brings in-depth knowledge and significant leadership experience of working with stakeholders in UK spectrum. All of us at DMSL are excited by David’s appointment and look forward to supporting him in his new role.”
