Tom joined the RSA in 2025 as the Head of Publishing after many years working for leading academic publishers, specifically Elsevier and Sage Publishing. At the latter, as a Director, he helped lead the development of the company’s (then) nascent medicine and life science programme, as well as its gold OA journal programme. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with academic Societies and Associations and is delighted to have the opportunity to hop over the fence to work for the RSA.
