Re: New Managing Director for IOP Publishing
IOP Publishing today announced the appointment of Steven Hall as the
company's new Managing Director.
Dr Robert Kirby-Harris, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics, said:
'Steven's track record in publishing, and STM in particular, is extensive
and impressive. Having started out at Macmillan Press, Steven went on to
Chadwyck-Healey as Sales and Marketing Director and then Managing
Director. Following ProQuest's acquisition of Chadwyck-Healey, he was
appointed Senior Vice-President, Publishing and Publisher Relations of
ProQuest. He moved on in 2004 to become Journal Sales and Marketing
Director for Blackwell Publishing and later Commercial Director for
Wiley-Blackwell. Steven then used his considerable breadth of strategic
experience to form and run his own scholarly publishing consultancy from
2008 onwards.
'Steven joins IOP Publishing at a particularly exciting time, both in
terms of the company's strategic direction and also given the challenges
and opportunities facing scientific publishing. He starts his appointment
as Managing Director on 5 July, which will allow time for a smooth and
effective transfer of operations from Jerry Cowhig.
'Jerry Cowhig will be retiring from IOP Publishing having successfully led
the company for the past 15 years, during which time he has been the
driving force in building its reputation, growth and effectiveness ? both
commercially and also in the eyes of the scientific community ? with the
result that IOP Publishing is regarded as one of the world's leading
scientific publishers. He is recognised as a highly influential champion
for the publishing industry, where he has played a significant worldwide
representational role, including acting as Chairman of the International
Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers from 2005 to
2008.'
Jerry Cowhig said: 'I am grateful to the Institute of Physics, and
especially to its wonderful publishing staff, for the privilege and
enjoyment of working with them over the past 15 years. I welcome Steven
and I confidently wish him and the company a successful future.'
