Nygren last worked at Wolters Kluwer where he was responsible for partner acquisition and management, go-to-market strategy, and content product development for Ovid. Prior to that, he was Head of Sales and Marketing at the American Psychological Association, and Vice President, Research Insights, at Wiley.
Nygren will serve on Silverchair’s Executive Team and lead its Business Development and Marketing teams as they seek to address the increasing demand for platform services from publishers looking for an independent and innovative technology partner. In addition to the Silverchair Platform and ScholarOne products, he will also support the go-to-market strategy for Silverchair’s new position as a reseller of Web of Science Author Connect, Reviewer Locator, and the Reviewer Recognition services.
“I’m very excited to have David join us as we have a lot important work to do, including addressing the increasing demand for ScholarOne products and developing our strategy to sustain Silverchair’s growth for the years to come,” said Silverchair CEO Will Schweitzer. “David is an experienced commercial and strategy leader, and we look forward to what he’ll bring to our expanded client community.”
“I’m thrilled to be joining Silverchair at such a critical time in the company’s history,” said Nygren. “Silverchair’s independence and customer-led development are resonating with publishers, and now current and future ScholarOne clients will also benefit from the organization’s community-focused approach. I’m greatly looking forward to helping publishers large and small optimize their positive impact on the research ecosystem.”
