The Optical Society (OSA) has announced that Elizabeth Nolan has been promoted to chief publishing officer. She most recently served as the senior deputy director of publishing sales and marketing at OSA. Nolan succeeds Dr. John S. Childs, publisher/senior director, who retired from OSA on July 1.
In this new role, Nolan will oversee the society's publishing programme, including leading the development of comprehensive strategies for OSA's publishing activities and directing the marketing, sales, and operations of OSA's entire portfolio of peer-reviewed journals, electronic products, and special programmes. Additionally, she will serve as the primary point of contact for OSA's strategic and editorial committees with oversight of technical content.
Immediately prior to joining OSA, Nolan was senior vice president, global sales, marketing and strategy at SPi, where she successfully led some of its largest strategic initiatives as well as developed a host of new innovative services for scientific, technical and medical publishers. With more than 17 years of experience working with and for global not-for-profit and commercial publishers and an Asia-based publishing service provider, she has forged an international career that is rich in journal, book, and electronic publishing expertise.
