Australia-headquartered TEG, one of Asia Pacific’s largest live entertainment and ticketing companies, has appointed Belinda Shaw as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective July 22.
Shaw will succeed Sandra Rouse, who has served as TEG’s Chief Financial Officer for 13 years. Rouse, however, remains within the TEG family, “and will continue to play a key role in TEG’s growth,” the company said Friday (May 10). Rouse will continue to report to TEG Group CEO Geoff Jones.
Shaw brings over 25 years of experience in senior leadership roles across diverse industries and regions, including most recently as CFO at Australian construction materials company Boral. Prior to Boral, Shaw was the Acting CFO at Sydney Airport and held senior executive roles at General Electric (GE) as CFO of ANZ and PNG regions, CFO Global Mining and CFO Global Locomotive.
At TEG, she will play a role in steering TEG’s financial strategy amid the company’s expanding portfolio of live entertainment ventures, and will be a “key architect” in TEG’s growth and planning, the company said.
“We are delighted to have an executive of Belinda’s caliber join TEG as our Chief Financial Officer,” said Geoff Jones, TEG Group CEO.
“Belinda comes to TEG with a proven track record working with Global brands across local and international markets, and her in-depth knowledge and experience will be key to the role as we continue to drive growth.“I warmly welcome Belinda to TEG and look forward to working alongside her.”

“Belinda comes to TEG with a proven track record working with global brands across local and international markets, and her in-depth knowledge and experience will be key to the role as we continue to drive growth. I warmly welcome Belinda to TEG and look forward to working alongside her.”
Acknowledging Sandra Rouse’s contributions, Jones said: “I also want to take this opportunity to thank Sandra for her enormous contribution over the past 13 years. During that time, Sandra has supported the business through impressive growth, changes in ownership, a pandemic, acquisitions in multiple countries, and the list keeps going. I feel privileged to have had Sandra on the team and have the utmost respect for her commitment, leadership, and contributions at TEG.
“It is an exciting time to join TEG as the Business continues to grow its Global Leadership position across Live Entertainment, Ticketing and Technology. I am really looking forward to working with Geoff and the Leadership Team on this growth journey.”

“Sandra will be moving into a new role in the business where her intimate knowledge of the operations and landscape will drive a number of important initiatives across Strategy, M&A and Operations.”
Commenting on her appointment, Shaw said: “It is an exciting time to join TEG as the business continues to grow its global leadership position across Live Entertainment, Ticketing and Technology. I am really looking forward to working with Geoff and the leadership team on this growth journey.”
Shaw’s appointment came five months after TEG appointed Cameron Hoy, formerly the Managing Director of its Ticketek subsidiary, as the group’s new Chief Operating Officer & Head of Global Ticketing.
TEG boasts an extensive live entertainment portfolio, hosting approximately 1,000 events annually and attracting over 2 million fans, according to its website.
TEG’s growth trajectory received a boost in October 2019 with its acquisition by Silicon Valley-based technology investment firm Silver Lake, following TEG’s acquisition of UK-based event promoter and venue operator, The MJR Group, further expanding its global footprint.
