Shaw has been in his current post for the past five years, during which time he has worked closely with the company’s CEOs on strategy and overseen the likes of Harry: The Interview and The Queen’s Green Planet with Sir David Attenborough.
ITN CEO Rachel Corp paid tribute to “one of the most talented editorial minds to have ever worked across ITN.”
