He will stay on as principal at Attleborough Academy while taking on responsibility for the development of teaching and learning at the trust' four schools: Attleborough, Fakenham, Wayland and Wayland Junior Academies.
He said: 'As our students' impressive progress last year shows, the trust's schools are in a strong position from which to build and achieve continued improvements.'
His appointment follows the departure Gee Cook, whose former chief executive position at the trust will be replaced by the executive principal role.
Ms Cook wished her former colleague Mr McShane 'the best of luck' in his new role.
