A veteran administrator at Georgia Public Broadcasting is stepping up to become the state network’s CEO. Governor Kemp announced Friday that Bert Huffman has been named to the post. Bert Huffman began working at GPB in 2014 as its first vice president for development and marketing.
He later became senior vice president of external affairs before being named president in 2021. Before joining GPB, Huffman held top management roles at The Atlanta Opera and Emory University. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Tennessee Wesleyan University and a master’s degree from Kennesaw State University.
Brian Dill, chairman of the Georgia Public Telecommunications Commission, which oversees GPB, said Huffman has a record of dedicated service that will help guide GPB in fulfilling its mission across its television, radio, and educational services throughout the state. Huffman succeeds Teya Ryan, who retired from GPB last spring.
