Sarah is an accomplished project manager for both print and digital publishing initiatives. For example, she managed the launch of the industry-wide award-winning Berg Fashion Library (now Bloomsbury Fashion Central) for Bloomsbury Publishing. Similarly, at Oxford University Press, she oversaw preparation of lexical datasets for technology company clients, bringing in revenue of over £9 million.

She has strong cross-functional skills – her success in project delivery relies on close collaboration with business development, editorial, technical and sales colleagues. And a talent for leading teams, whether in-house or external.

Sarah also has solid editorial experience, having first gained formal copy-editing training at Macmillan Publishers, then going on to do managing editing and commissioning for other blue-chip publishing companies. Meanwhile, her strong analytic skills and technical interests give her the edge in dealing with XML technologies, systems and web considerations.

Finally, Sarah has a background in Chinese and fluent spoken/written Mandarin. She has recently been living in Beijing, working for Chinese publishing enterprises on digital project management, print book creation and rights acquisition, and is keen to grow networks in China.
