Silverchair Information Systems (Silverchair), a provider of technology platforms and services for the professional and scholarly knowledge industry, has named Tim Barton as its new President. Barton will report to Thane Kerner, who will remain CEO.
Barton held various positions across Oxford University Press, including President of OUP USA. Most recently he served as Managing Director for the Global Academic Division of Oxford University Press, where he was responsible for OUP’s research publishing globally, including journals, scholarly books, and reference, and for higher education, and dictionary publishing. This was the first time that OUP had pulled together responsibility for this wide range of publishing under a single manager.
Under his leadership, OUP transitioned to become a digital and global business, and achieved strong growth, including doubling the size of the journals business, while adhering to the strict quality requirements mandated by Oxford University.
