He is responsible for all OEG and Katz Group communications, corporate affairs & government relations, the EOCF & hockey programming. He is also responsible for WIN50, sports betting & gaming, and OEG’s digital subscription strategy.
Previously as Senior Vice President, Communications, Shipton was responsible for corporate communications, as well as government & media relations. He oversaw OEG’s community strategy, including how it relates to the operation of EOCF and Oilers Alumni programs.

He graduated with distinction for the University of Alberta, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. He is also a Top 40 Under 40 honoree by Avenue Magazine and was named a Rising Star by Oilweek Magazine.
