Knutsford-based specialist publisher Texere Publishing has appointed Bibiana “Bibi” Campos Seijo as strategic advisor.
Seijo was the recipient of the 2021 GD Crain Jr Leadership award in recognition of “outstanding contributions to the development of editorial excellence in business media,” and has held a string of high-profile editorial, commercial and technical positions.
She spent the last eight years at the American Chemical Society as VP of C&EN Media and Group, and editor-in-chief of C&EN, leading a team of around 50 staff across editorial, audience, creative, product, and operations functions.
There, among many other achievements, Seijo established an awards program (C&EN’s Talented 12), an annual event (C&EN Futures Festival), and an award-winning custom content unit (C&EN BrandLab).
Before that, she spent over six years at the UK’s Royal Society of Chemistry as editor-in-chief of Chemistry World and publisher of the society’s magazines.
Andy Davies, Texere CEO, said: “Texere is and always will be committed to attracting the very best talent – it is a cornerstone of our success. Bibi is a perfect example of this approach. Bringing a wealth of proven experience not only in content delivery but also in forming strong networks and partnerships, Bibi will play an important strategic role in our continued expansion into the North American market and beyond.”
Content director Rich Whitworth added: “I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with Bibi at several events over the last 10 years – and, in between times, I’ve simply admired her work from afar. I am very much looking forward to collaborating closely with Bibi on a number of exciting projects – the details of which I am sure we’ll reveal as the year and partnership progresses!.”
Seijo said: “Texere has become what a lot of media companies aspire to be: nimble, innovative, and disruptive. I’ve been very impressed with the pace of growth that Texere has seen in its first decade – and I’m excited to join their ranks and help further accelerate their expansion in new and existing markets.”
Texere publishes a portfolio of medical and life science-focussed titles including The Analytical Scientist, The Cannabis Scientist, The Medicine Maker, The Ophthalmologist, The New Optometrist, The Pathologist, The Translational Scientist and ID Transmission.
