Cheshire publisher, Texere, has promoted Richard Hodson to Chief Commercial Officer.
Hodson has been at the Knutsford-based firm since 2014, initially overseeing the global launch of pharmaceutical brand, The Medicine Maker. He’s since worked across its healthcare, pharmacy and science sectors.
The new remit will mean he takes overall responsibility for all departments, which are externally facing, including sales, commercial services, sales support, social media, and editorial.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to play an even more senior role at Texere – and I do not take the trust and expectations placed upon me lightly!” he said.
“Fortunately, I work alongside a truly talented team – people who make the task ahead exciting rather than daunting. In ten years, we have built several respected, established brands, with another two on the runway – and we don’t plan on stopping. It’s a brilliant time for the business.”
Texere also has offices in the US and Canada.
“Richard has already proven himself a natural and capable leader – and always rises to the challenge,” said Chief Executive Officer Andy Davies.
“I have no doubt that his unwavering passion for – and commitment to – delivering the best experience to both our audiences and commercial partners will only be further multiplied in his new role as Chief Commercial Officer. And that puts Texere in a very good place indeed.”
