Clarivate Analytics, the global provider of trusted insights and analytics to enable the research ecosystem to accelerate discovery, has announced that Annette Thomas, previously appointed to the Clarivate board, will join the company in September as Chief Executive Officer of its Scientific and Academic Research division, well-known for its industry-leading Web of Science platform. Thomas will lead the global team from its London office.
Thomas brings nearly 25 years of experience to this role including Managing Director of Nature Publishing Group, Chief Executive Officer of Macmillan Science and Education and most recently Chief Scientific Officer and global head of Springer Nature's research business. She also serves as a Trustee and board member of The Yale Corporation, the governing board and policy-making body for Yale University.
Thomas will focus on expanding the company's leadership position in the scientific and academic research market. No stranger to this task, she has spent her career building businesses in scientific and educational publishing, technology and analytics, beginning as a cell biology editor for Nature.
For more than 15 years, she was at the helm of Nature, transforming it from a handful of print-based scientific magazines into one of the most highly regarded, digitally-focused research information groups in the world. While at Nature and Macmillan, Thomas expanded the group globally and diversified the business, including the launch of Digital Science, a technology and analytics company. She was also an early advocate of open access, driving Nature's developments in this area.
