About The/Know Your Editor:
Do you have prior publishing experience?
Yes, 7 years prior to joining Elsevier. I spent 5 years in charge of a construction books program, which was a great training ground for managing a broad portfolio with every kind of author, co-publishing relationships, and reaching readers at every level. There are many parallels with the role I have now.
What’s your history with Elsevier?
I joined in February 2015 as Senior Acquisitions Editor with responsibility for Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering books.
What do you enjoy about signing in these areas?
With such a broad range of subjects, I have lots of important and dynamic emerging topics to work on. It is great to be able to work your way down from an area of research growth to find the people at its cutting edge, and then work with them to build a book that excites people and advances the field.
Why should this person sign a book with you?
I make it a point to make sure I understand my authors’ objectives in writing a book, so that at every step their relationship with Elsevier is one of partnership towards a common goal. People write for a variety of reasons, and it is not necessary for us to treat every book or author the same way.
Why do you love publishing?
It is a real privilege to be able to learn about things from people who have devoted their careers to understanding and explaining them. I really enjoy engaging with the purpose of a book and helping the author reach the right people in the right way.
Tell us something personal about yourself
I am a big fan of live music in small venues, and played guitar and bass guitar in amateur bands when I was younger.

Engineering brings science and technology out of the lab and into the real world. Often without thinking about it, we engage every day with technology that is the product of careful, precise design and execution by engineers in electronics, optics, and communications; embedded systems; automotive, aerospace, and marine; mechanical; and many other disciplines. For decades, Elsevier has maintained and grown extensive collections in these and other cutting-edge areas, like biomechanics and nanotechnology, through our trusted imprints: Newnes, Academic Press, and Woodhead Publishing. In addition, our powerful online platforms like Knovel and Engineering Village help streamline research and development processes for users around the world.
