Academic publisher Emerald Group Publishing has announced that Caitlin Cornish, former Publishing Director for Palgrave Macmillan, has joined Emerald as Head of Books Publishing.
This significant strategic appointment of an industry big-hitter forms part of Emerald’s investment in a major new programme of academic and professional books and monographs designed to bring the very latest ideas and approaches to global universities, researchers, students and practitioners.
Caitlin was integral to the merger of Palgrave Macmillan and the Nature Publishing Group that created Springer Nature; and was thereafter VP for the economics, business, statistics, finance, mathematics and law programmes with responsibility for books and journals.
Caitlin began her publishing career with Macmillan Publishers before moving to Wiley (later Wiley Blackwell), where she became Editorial Director for the Wiley Finance programme. From Wiley, Caitlin moved to Palgrave Macmillan to head up the academic, professional and reference books teams for humanities and social sciences in the UK, US and Asia – during which her team more than doubled growth over a four-year period – before becoming Publishing Director.
