In October 2024, Transact Campus and The CBORD Group announced a new Executive Leadership Team following the merger of the two companies earlier that year. The company lists Shaw as Chief Information Security Officer on the new Executive Leadership Team, alongside Nancy Langer as Chief Executive Officer. According to the company, Transact Campus operates as a Roper Technologies Company. The company says the combined business operates under both the Transact and CBORD brand names in education, healthcare and corporate markets.
