Web of Science is the greatest research information product ever made. As Product Director, I developed the product vision and strategy for Web of Science, led the team charged with its development, and built out its data governance processes.

Publons is now a part of the Scientific and Academic Research group at Clarivate Analytics, home of industry leading products like Web of Science, EndNote, and ScholarOne. I am the Managing Director of Publons and part of the leadership team charged with developing our business strategy.

As co-founder and CEO of Publons, I took Publons from concept to acquisition. Along the way we built a team of 15, raised multiple rounds of funding, opened offices in Wellington, NZ and London, brought on 8 of the top 10 publishers in the world as customers and changed the way an industry thinks about peer review.About Publons: Our mission is to speed up science by harnessing the power of peer review. We work with researchers, publishers, funders, and universities to bring trust, transparency, and efficiency to the peer review process. Our core product makes it simple for researchers to get verified recognition for their review work.

As a postdoc with Kevin Smith's Novel Materials research group, I used resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES) and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to elucidate the electronic structure of novel crystalline systems.As part of my role I advised/trained PhD students and external users.I was based at Brookhaven National Lab where I was a beamline scientist on soft x-ray beamline X1B at the National Synchrotron Light Source. We also travelled to other beamlines including the ALS and MAX-lab.
