Personanondata

Personanondata (aka Michael Cairns) is about the academic, scholarly and professional publishing industry. Here I offer my opinion, analysis, annual predictions and news stories about the industry (and sometimes other things that interest me). My focus is on the application of technology within the industry as it transitions from a business dominated by print to one dependent on digital content creation and delivery.

Michael Cairns

I am Chief Revenue Officer at SharedBook, an innovative new education company located in New York. I have been an Adviser to SharedBook since early 2010. In early 2011 we launched AcademicPub.com a publishing platform that allows faculty and educators to create custom course materials for their classes and students.

Previously I was Managing Partner of Information Media Partners, my own business strategy consulting practice focused on helping publishing and information companies invest in their future through content management, product development and/or mergers and acquisitions. My career spans a wide range of publishing and information products, services and B2B categories and my operating and consulting experience has largely been with brand-name publishing companies such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Macmillan, Inc., Berlitz International, R.R. Bowker and Wolters Kluwer.

I have served as a board member of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) and in addition to my responsibilities at R.R. Bowker, l also served as Chairman of the International ISBN Executive Committee.
