InvestmentNews names Shaw its new publisher

Christine Shaw

Christine Shaw, a media executive with a long B2B publishing resume, has been named the new CEO and publisher of InvestmentNews, the former Crain publication acquired a year ago by UK-based Bonhill Financial Services.

Lisa Shidler of RIABiz reports, “Shaw joins InvestmentNews from Future Plc, where she spent just over a year as managing director and senior vice president of global events and B2B. Her formative experience was at Penwell Corp., where she spent 17 years as senior vice president of the technology division.

“PennWell is a business-to-business events, media, and marketing services company producing 150 print and online magazines and newsletters, 25 conferences and exhibitions around the world, plus an extensive offering of books, maps, websites, research products, digital media and database services, according to its website.

“Penwell focuses on the oil, gas and power industry, fire and emergency services, aviation, optoelectronics and lighting, cable and broadband and wastewater, but has no footprint in financial services media.”
