Sustainability, data and standards are essential underpinnings for our community, from the metadata standards that help optimise discoverability to the usage metrics that are one aspect of measuring impact. As COUNTER's Executive Director and founder of an independent consultancy business helping publishers achieve a sustainable transition to open access, I have come to rely more than ever on those three principles. Having held senior roles in not-for-profit and commercial scholarly publishers and technology providers, and with a long history of volunteering with industry bodies, I bring deep expertise to all of my consulting projects.
