Wiley veteran Jay Flynn will lead the company’s open research strategy as executive vice president of Wiley Research, succeeding Judy Verses, who is leaving the organization for personal reasons.
Flynn will report directly to Wiley President and Chief Executive Officer Brian Napack, a Sept. 17 announcement said.
Since 2010, Flynn has served in a series of leadership roles, most recently as senior vice president and chief product offer of Wiley Research. He was previously managing director of research publishing.
Verses joined Wiley in 2015 and has since grown Wiley Research into a leader in open research and a strategic partner to academic institutions, societies and corporations.
“Jay brings vision and deep experience to this critical role. As we publish more and expand our portfolio of digital research solutions, Jay and his team will continue to enable the growing success of millions of researchers worldwide,” said Napack in a prepared statement. “I want to take this moment to recognize Judy’s tremendous contributions to Wiley. She has guided the transformation of our research business into an engine of growth and leaves Wiley Research an industry leader and a force for positive impact.”
