Access
Intelligence Taps John Pearson to Lead Growing Chemical
Division
ROCKVILLE, MD. July
7—Access Intelligence, a premier business-to-business
media and information company, announced today that
John Pearson has been appointed president of the rapidly
growing Chemical Division, an expanded role that includes
oversight of the entire portfolio of global chemical
business publications, conferences and consulting and
data services.
Pearson,
who joined Access Intelligence in early 2004 as CEO of
the newly acquired SRI Consulting division, assumes responsibility
for Chemical Week, Chemical Engineering, and the Chemical
Business Media Conference Group. The management change,
announced by Access Intelligence CEO Don Pazour, effectively
brings together the leading global news organization in
the chemical industry with SRIC, the world’s leading
business research service for the international chemical
industry.
“In
just under two years, John and his team at SRIC have done
a tremendous job refocusing, restructuring and bringing
a new marketing focus to those products,” says Pazour. “Together
with the magazine, conference, and e-media management team,
John will focus on continuing the progress made over the
past year on these products while developing cross-group
opportunities.”
Access
Intelligence’s Chemical Division is enjoying strong
marketplace and revenue growth. SRIC, which for nearly
60 years has provided the chemical community in-depth supply/demand
data, analysis and forecasts, has achieved a nearly 10%
increase in annualized revenue. At 20,000 weekly subscribers,
Chemical Week, led by publisher Lyn Tattum, has the largest
circulation of any non-association chemical news magazine.
Chemical Engineering, under the leadership of publisher
Nella Veldran and celebrating more than 100 years of publication,
has a circulation of 59,000 and is the only global magazine
covering the Chemical Process Industry sector.
“Our
vision is to be the information provider of choice to the
world’s chemical and related industries,” says
Pearson, who will split his time between the Menlo Park,
Calif., headquarters of SRIC and the New York offices of
Chemical Business Media. Pearson is a recognized business-to-business
publishing executive who in his nearly 30-year career has
launched and grown the portfolios at major publishing houses
including CMP and Miller Freeman.
Among
the collaborative efforts already underway is a joint SRIC-Chemical
Week conference in the Middle East in early 2006.
