Thieme Group, a supplier of information and services contributing to the improvement of healthcare and health, has announced the appointment of Martin Spencker as Executive Vice President International Business, effective July 1, 2019. He will be responsible for all the market offerings of Thieme outside the German-speaking countries. Moreover, the various international Thieme locations will be run by country managers in future. These changes are associated with the forthcoming retirement of Brian D. Scanlan, the current President of Thieme Publishers, New York.
The Thieme Group operates on a global scale as a supplier of information and services for target groups in the fields of medicine, chemistry and science. With subsidiaries in New York, Delhi, Rio and Beijing, as well as with digital offerings and Open Access publications, the Thieme Group has continuously expanded its international presence in the last few decades.
Brian D. Scanlan, President of Thieme Publishers since 1995, will retire at the end of 2019. This prompted the Thieme management to restructure its international activities: As a result, Martin Spencker in his function as Executive Vice President International Business will from now on coordinate all the international market offerings of the Thieme Group at their headquarters. The individual locations themselves will be run by Managing Directors: From July 1 onwards, Dr. Cathrin Weinstein will take over this task for Thieme USA, and Louisa Turrell will do so for Thieme Brazil. Ajit Kohli will continue to perform this function for Thieme India, as will Dr. Daniel Schiff for Thieme China. Within the management of Thieme the international activities are assigned to Dr. Udo Schiller, who is responsible for products & solutions worldwide.
Martin Spencker has been working for Thieme since 1993. At first he was responsible for the marketing activities of Thieme’s subsidiary Enke, then he became head of the division responsible for the educational products of the Georg Thieme publishing house. His particular focus in the last few years has been on the opportunities of digital publishing, and he was heavily involved in the establishment of learning platforms such as Via Medici and CNE (Certified Nursing Education).
