CALGARY — Dean Shaikh is Rogers’s senior vice president of regulatory affairs, moving over from Shaw after it was bought by the cable giant.
Shaikh was most recently vice president of regulatory affairs of Shaw, where he spent 17 years.
Shaikh was, before that, counsel on regulatory law for the now-defunct Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association. The lawyer was also a senior competition law officer at the Competition Bureau around the turn of the century.
Rogers has been shoring up its team as it continues the integration of Shaw into the company. Ted Woodhead, who was Rogers’s chief regulatory and government affairs officer, exited the position during a shuffle in the ranks of the company last month. He was replaced by Marisa Wyse, who has been with Rogers for more than nine years.
The company also announced the appointments of former Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains as public policy head and Shaw’s Zoran Stakic as chief transformation officer.
Late last month, Rogers made further cuts to Shaw’s programming and communications teams.
