About
The world of scholarly publishing consulting is full of slick presentations and impressive titles—but too often, it’s light on real, hands-on experience. I can offer something a little different.
I’ve spent 20+ years in this industry, not just talking about strategy but actually building and running the systems that keep journals, platforms, and research portfolios thriving. I’ve held roles spanning scholarly publishing, platform product development, managing editorial, science journalism, and grant writing. That means I don’t just understand how the pieces fit together—I’ve been the one fitting them.
I’ve worked in the trenches, solving complex publishing challenges, from optimizing digital content to implementing policy shifts that actually work. I can diagnose systemic issues, help you see past industry buzzwords, and offer both strategic guidance and hands-on solutions.
If you’re serious about making real, data-driven, and effective changes in your publishing operations, let’s talk.
