IGI Global, a leading international academic publisher of business, computer science, education, environmental, and social science research, has appointed Lindsay Wertman as its new President.
Lindsay’s transition into the President role offers IGI Global a breadth of experience, spanning editorial work, product development, and global marketing. She has been instrumental in fostering the exponential growth of the company’s publication portfolio and has played a key role in the implementation of many of the company’s products and publishing service offerings that are

Her diverse experience offers an unmatched awareness of the challenges and opportunities confronting academic publishing, which makes her perfectly poised to lead the strategic direction and vision of IGI Global in the areas of new product development, content strategy, ethics and inclusion, as well as image and branding.
“These are exciting times in our industry, the way that content is being shared and accessed paired with the level of innovation and collaboration that we are seeing take place is astounding. I feel honored and privileged to have the opportunity to serve the academic community. We at IGI Global have always been deeply committed to ensuring that researchers have a trusted outlet for their work and that we as an organization remain agile as content needs evolve. I’m looking forward to launching many new initiatives in the years ahead.”
— Ms. Lindsay Wertman, President

Starting in 2006 as an Editorial Assistant, her dedication and knowledge quickly garnered attention and earned her the opportunities to lead as Assistant Director of Editorial Content, Editorial Director, and then most recently serving as the Managing Director of IGI Global for more than 10 years.
During her spare time, Ms. Wertman often participates in different industry focus groups and committees, authors pieces for different industry publications, and serves as the Editorial Coordinator for the World Forgotten Children Foundation (WFCF) (a private non-profit foundation), while also enjoying being an active volunteer within her community and spending time with her husband and son.
