Sarah Durrant appointed Secretary General of the ASA
Sarah Durrant will take up the position of Secretary General of the
Association of Subscription Agents and Intermediaries with effect from July
1, 2008.
Sarah brings a wealth of relevant experience to the ASA from her previous
work with publishing companies and intermediaries. Sarah is well known in
the industry not just for her consultancy work but also from her previous
career with INASP, negotiating with publishers for country-wide access to
online scholarly information on behalf of some of the world's poorest
countries. Previously Sarah was Sales Manager at Ingenta and also worked in
e-journals development and marketing for John Wiley & Sons and Academic
Press.
Sarah will continue to run her successful consultancy - Red Sage Consulting
- through which she undertakes research, sales and marketing, and business
development projects for organisations within the scholarly information
industry. Sarah is based in the UK and will work from her office in Suffolk.
Sarah will be taking over from Rollo Turner, who has been the Secretary
general for the last ten years. Rollo says "I am really glad Sarah has
decided to take on this role as she will bring a wealth of new experience to
the ASA as the industry enters another period of very rapid change. I wish
her every success and I am sure the members will benefit from her keen
insight, drive and enthusiasm."
Rollo will be leaving the ASA to pursue his own publishing interests in the
field of motorcycling and will continue to take on the occasional
consultancy role.
