Prior Publishing Career

My publishing career began in 2001 at Pearson Education, with a role culminating as editor-in-chief for business publishing. In my years at Pearson Education, I launched more than 10 first editions. In 2008 I founded Business Expert Press to bring applied, concise ebooks for executive education to higher education. Today Business Expert Press has published more than 1000 titles. In more recent years I led streaming video and ebook platforms for Alexander Street and ProQuest, but my heart was always calling me back to educational publishing.
