ITN HR Boss Exiting To “Pursue Other Opportunities”

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: The head of HR at ITN is to exit not long after the publication of a report into ITN’s controversial use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

Alexandra Standfast, who was Chief People Officer at the ITV and Channel 4 newsmaker and ran what is called the People Team, had her exit announced last month.

In a note to staff, ITN CEO Rachel Corp said Standfast had “decided to step down from her role at ITN and is leaving to pursue other opportunities that allow her to spend more time with her family in Wales.” Corp said Standfast had “developed and spearheaded an ambitious People Strategy for ITN” during her five-year tenure at ITN’s Grays Inn Road HQ in London, “championing cultural change and introducing a range of progressive policies.” We are told ITN is currently recruiting for Standfast’s replacement.

We have reached to her for comment. She has been in the ITN HR team for the past five years and it is her second stint with the outfit.
