MPS Welcomes Tony Alves as Senior Vice President, Product Management at HighWire
Summary
In addition, Alves’ active and engaged participation in the broader scholarly publishing ecosystem has earned him a reputation for facilitating collaboration across organizations, leading the Manuscript Exchange Common Approach (MECA) initiative, for example, alongside HighWire Founder John Sack. “We’re delighted to have Tony Alves on board, as his years of deep Product Management expertise, as well as his active participation in the industry will benefit the Company, and will also prove invaluable to the communities we serve,” says Rahul Arora, CEO of MPS and HighWire. “Tony is superb at partnering -- MECA was challenging because it was a partnership of competitors -- and many of us look forward to having a new colleague with these skills and broad industry knowledge and participation.” “Joining this team to help shape the future of HighWire innovation is very exciting,” commented Alves. After a change of majority stake in 2011-12 and with an entrepreneurial mind set, MPS developed significant momentum as a result of consistent reinvestment in the business and seven acquisitions in seven years. HighWire was born out of Stanford University, shaped the early stages of digital scholarly publishing, and is now celebrating its 25th year since it was founded.
