ITN Source Appointment To Boost Business Stateside

ITN Source has announced the appointment of Ian CheeWah as Managing Director for its North American business. In his new role, CheeWah will be responsible for driving growth opportunities in America, with his more than 15 years of experience in business development, strategy and sales.
CheeWah will reinforce ITN Source’s already strong global presence, as the company continues to capture US market share.
ITN Source offers over 800,000 hours of archived footage and represents collections such as Reuters and Fox Movietone.
With three key reports in accounts, business development and sales, CheeWah will report directly to ITN’s CEO, Mark Wood.
“Ian clearly understands the full scope of the digital marketplace, from technical to sales, and has a proven ability to grow teams and revenues,” said Mark Wood, CEO of ITN.
“With his years in consulting and experience across numerous client industries and markets, Ian is the perfect candidate to expand the awareness of ITN Source’s offer and meet the growing need for professional video content.”
Ian CheeWah brings a proven track record of success to ITN Source. Working with Sapient for 12 years, from 1995 to 2007, he headed various groups and regions, growing the most recent charge from $2M to $60M in revenue. He also spearheaded the development of three new business lines: Media & Entertainment, Telecom and Government Services.
“The US is a prime consumer of archived video, accounting for nearly 45% of global sales, and it is the hub of future growth worldwide,” said CheeWah. “As the market continues to heat up, this role driving ITN Source’s business in America was extremely attractive, offering the opportunity to ensure ITN Source becomes the industry leader.”
