Senior publishing professional with extensive work experience across business verticals, and a keen interest in R&D funding and higher education sector. This diverse experience allows me to see the big picture, anticipate industry trends, and engage effectively with authors, researchers, academic societies, and institutions.

My previous editorial roles at Taylor & Francis and Springer Nature have provided in-depth knowledge of scholarly publishing and editorial processes. I bring substantial experience in working with cross-cultural teams, researcher communities, KOLs, academic societies and institutions. Key expertise includes open research, data-driven submission growth, journal management, book program development, acquisitions, and takeovers—all underpinned by strong commercial acumen. 📩 For queries, reach out at madhurimak@gmail.com
