Andrew Roy is CNN’s General Manager for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), and the network’s London Bureau Chief. He oversees day-to-day responsibilities for all CNN’s EMEA bureaus as well as its London hub and EMEA HQ. Working closely with CNN’s Vice President of News in London, and the network’s Follow-the-Sun editorial hubs in Atlanta, New York, Abu Dhabi, and Hong Kong, he leads a team of multi-platform journalists that has delivered a stream of award-winning, impactful work.
CNN’s London bureau is the network’s largest outside the United States and home to many of the network’s highest profile international journalists among more than 200 staff based there. CNN London’s state-of-the-art studios are also home to CNN International’s European prime time programming, and the multi-platform hub is the base for CNN’s award-winning international Open-Source Investigations team.
Roy joined CNN from CBS in early 2025, where he served as Vice President of Foreign News & London Bureau Chief.
His award-winning career spans four decades in various high-profile international posts. The New Zealand native began his career in his home country as a reporter with Radio NZ, before spending more than 30 years at the BBC, including as North America and then Europe bureau chief, Head of News at BBC World News TV, and latterly running the BBC’s foreign news coverage. He joined CBS in 2022 to assume control of its international newsgathering operation.
