Caroline Short has been appointed as interim MD at ITN Productions following Ian Rumsey’s promotion to chief executive of ITN.
Short was recently elevated to lead ITN Productions’ global slate and heads up the company’s Leeds base. She will now take on overall leadership and day-to-day management of ITN Productions, overseeing editorial strategy and growth initiatives, for an initial period of six months. The process to name a permanent MD is taking place later this year. She reports to Rumsey.
Rumsey, CEO of ITN, commented: “Caroline is an outstanding creative leader with a deep understanding of our business, our clients, and the global content market. She has a strong track record of delivering ambitious, high-quality programs and building talented teams. I’m really pleased that she will be leading the business at a crucial moment for ITN Productions, as we continue to grow our slate, build momentum across our digital division and continue to expand and diversify.”
Short added, “We have an incredibly talented team and a fantastic range of projects underway, spanning traditional broadcast and new digital formats. I’m looking forward to working closely with colleagues across the business to continue delivering distinctive, high-impact content and driving the next phase of our growth.”
