If I were a linesman,
I would execute
defenders who
applauded
my offsides.
I have worked in scientific, technical and medical (STM) publishing since finishing my PhD in 1997. I initially worked at the online research community for chemists, ChemWeb.com, before acquisition by Elsevier. That was followed by nearly 7 years in Amsterdam at Elsevier HQ working as a Publishing Technology Manager (turning publishing content into new online products) and then as a publisher working with mathematics, computer science and physics journal portfolios. On moving back to the UK I was Head of Communities for music website YourSpins.com, before returning to STM publishing with BioMed Central. I am currently Editorial Director at Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals.
Married in June 2006 to Tamsin. Two children, Archie & Ella. Living in Doha, Qatar and patiently waiting for proper broadband. When not messing around on the internet, I like to write comedy sketches, read late 19th century French literature, and listen to as much music as I can.
What's hot with me? Wine, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Peep Show, Gilles Peterson, Deviation, Frenchbloke, Soundhog, Moleskines, Wired UK magazine, Guy de Maupassant, Will Self, Irvine Welsh and, perennially, The Simpsons & Family Guy.
