Fresh off winning a leading half-dozen trophies at the National Newspaper Awards on the weekend, the Globe and Mail is shaking up its senior management team.

In a note to staff Monday, Globe publisher Philip Crawley announced that the national paper's editor in chief, Edward Greenspon, is stepping down after nearly seven years in the top post.

Report on Business editor John Stackhouse has been named Greenspon's successor, effective Monday.

Stackhouse, who joined the Globe in 1989, is an award-winning journalist and foreign correspondent who more recently served as editor on the paper's foreign and national desks.

Angus Frame, former editor of globeandmail.com, will take on a new role as the paper's vice-president of digital, while Roger Dunbar, who had been in the role, moves over to a newly created position: vice-president of business development and marketing.

Perry Nixdorf remains as the Globe's vice-president of operations. Crawley added that an announcement about the company's new vice-president of IT would come shortly.

On Friday night, the paper won six categories at the National Newspaper Awards in Montreal, including for its Talking to the Taliban multimedia project and business reporting on the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis.
