Anthony Thornton says: "It's fantastic to be joining Ten at a key point in its growth. I'm relishing the amazing opportunity to contribute to the success of such a forward-thinking, customer-focused company driven by three things that I have always been passionate about: service, content, and data."

Jane Davenport has joined Ten as Head of Content & Editorial Americas and Jeanne Cheung has joined as Head of Content & Editorial APAC.

Jane Davenport is based in Ten's Toronto office and was most recently Managing Editor of the Toronto Star for several years. Jane is highly experienced in content strategy and management with a background in digital publishing at a number of Canadian news organisations.
