Following a thorough and rigorous search, PLOS named Louise Page to the position, effective December 1, 2015. Page will be based at PLOS’ San Francisco office.

“Louise’s dynamic leadership experience and business development expertise, as well as her decades of publishing experience, will be a valued asset to PLOS’ executive team,” said Elizabeth Marincola, Chief Executive Officer of PLOS. “Louise’s intimate knowledge of the industry and the experience of authors is critically important as PLOS enters a new phase of innovation, beginning with a streamlined submission system. We are grateful to have a publisher of Louise’s stature join our organization.”
