The International Association for Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) has announced that its Board has appointed Ian Moss as the organisation’s new Chief Executive Officer. Moss who currently serves as Director of Public Affairs for the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) will take up the position in December 2019.
STM is the leading global trade association for all involved in scholarly communications. Moss joins the organisation at a particularly exciting time, as new publishing models are introduced which alter how researchers publish and share their work.
Moss’s selection marks the culmination of a two-yearlong strategic review, which will see STM adopt a new broader and more inclusive vision and mission. He will lead the revitalisation of the association’s working structures as part of an ongoing evolution to meet the needs of key stakeholders while enabling the organisation to continue to serve its members and the wider publishing industry.
Before joining the BPI, Moss spent 15 years working in politics and the UK Government: as an elected officer in the National Union of Students, as a researcher in the Labour team working towards the 1997 election; and later in a variety of roles within the UK Civil Service - OFTEL, HM Treasury, Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry of Justice. In 2011, Moss joined the BPI and has worked with its members to navigate the recorded music industry’s fundamental reinvention as a result of digital rights and evolving formats for music delivery.
