Ingenta appoints Anna Drage to manage key publisher client accounts

Ingenta, the technology provider that connects the publishing and information industries, is pleased to announce its appointment of Anna Drage to the position of Senior Client Manager. Anna joins a key account management team of nine representatives based in the UK and the US that handles business and operational relationships with Ingenta’s more than 250 worldwide publisher clients. She comes to Ingenta from a similar position at Atypon Systems; her previous experience includes editorial, production and online delivery roles at Oxford University Press and Informa Healthcare.
 
"Ingenta has been at the centre of the information community for a long time," Anna comments, "and with last year's merger, and the recent launch of their highly-competitive pub2web publications platform, they're at an exciting stage of their corporate development. I'm looking forward to building business relationships with their prestigious customer base, and renewing my acquaintance with their talented, committed team."

"I'm delighted that someone of Anna's calibre will now be helping us to deliver exceptional service to our growing list of publisher clients," adds Louise Tutton, Head of Client Management at Ingenta. "Her first-hand knowledge of many of our competitors' propositions, and of our customers' expectations, will be invaluable in ensuring we continue to pro-actively meet our clients' needs and to strategically develop leading-edge technologies that solve real problems."

Anna's appointment follows a series of recent high-profile additions to the Ingenta team that reflect the strengthened position the company now enjoys following its 2007 incorporation into Publishing Technology plc. She will be joining the company on 31st March 2008, based at the company’s Oxford, UK office, and from that date can be contacted on anna.drage@ingenta.com or +44 1865 397800.
