Russ Shaw, marketing director at O2, said: "New content remains key for our customers and Tanya will help maintain O2's momentum in this field.
"She brings to O2 a strong and extremely diverse background in content development and her experience in television will help us to continue to develop compelling content."
Field will also oversee the development of live music and events from the rebranded Millennium Dome, dubbed The O2, which is set to open in April 2007.
The much-maligned lottery-funded dome, which cost £758m, will be redesigned to include a British music hall of fame, a 1,800-seat theatre and 2,200 capacity music club.
