2025 Businesswoman of the Year Rachel Corp is leaving her role as CEO ITN News rather abruptly, after almost exactly four years in post. Has she been caught in conversation about the vacancy at the top of BBC News ?
Rachel, 53, (James Allen's Girls' School, Dulwich; Marlborough and Leeds University) worked on Leeds Student Radio, winning the NUS/Guardian award for Broadcaster of the Year. She travelled in Bosnia, making features for Woman's Hour as a freelance, before joining ITN as a trainee. She was part of the launch team for Channel 5 news, and did the network's Diana death announcement.
She left ITN for a spell as the BBC's Moscow producer, then for a time worked for an online web-conferencing company before returning to Grays Inn Road, rising to editor, helping the introduction of the longer evening news, and supervising scoops on Partygate and the storming of the White House. Husband Laurence Lee is a former foreign correspondent, now coaching disadvantaged children in oracy.
