  Network Ten today announced that after three and a half years with the company, Shaun James - Ten's chief network marketing officer - would depart at the end of 2007.
  
  Ten's chief executive officer, Grant Blackley, thanked Mr James for his contribution to the network saying, "Shaun joined Ten at a time when our sales and trade marketing initiatives were rapidly evolving."
  
  "He has led our sales team and, more recently, spearheaded our industry marketing initiatives with passion and professionalism."
  
  "We are sorry to see him go but understand his wish to move on to new challenges."
  
  Mr James said, "I have enjoyed my three and a half years at Ten which, after nearly two decades in the music industry, enabled me to learn so much about the business of television – which was a new world for me."
  
  "It's been a great experience, and never a dull moment, and with a new year on the horizon, the chance has presented itself for me to have a short break and then explore other opportunities."
  
  "I will always be grateful for my time here at Ten."
  
  Mr James joined Ten as deputy general manager – network sales, in August 2004 and a year later became general manager – network sales. He took on the newly-created role of chief network marketing officer in August of 2007.
  
  Before joining Ten, he spent 13 years with Warner Music, the last five as chairman and chief executive officer of Warner Music Australasia.
