C&E Expands, Welcoming Five New Team Members
May 27, 2026
C&E is growing, and we want to share a little about why.
Over the past year, we’ve seen a material growth in client demand — driven in large part by the complexity of the environment and new opportunities created by market changes.
AI is certainly a factor, reshaping the landscape from multiple directions at once. It is creating new revenue opportunities tied to product innovation and AI licensing deals (and presenting thorny strategic questions along the way). AI is also introducing new capabilities across both the publishing workflow and enterprise-wide marketing and communications functions. At the same time, it is forcing societies and publishers to rethink brand relevance, audience strategy, and their role as stewards of trusted content — as content is increasingly discovered and consumed through AI-mediated workflows.
But the momentum extends well beyond the impact of AI. Some of our clients are launching and scaling education products and building out their product capability. Other clients are reevaluating the right partners for their magazines as the technologies and practices related to digital advertising, sponsorship, and digital marketing evolve. We are helping some societies take a hard look at whether remaining in a commercial publishing model continues to serve their long-term goals, and how they might reshape publisher relationships to better protect and advance the society’s interests over time. Nearly all of our clients are looking for ways to diversify and grow non-dues revenue — and that includes the importance of a diversified revenue strategy for publishing. And audience engagement, especially in light of new marketing technology capabilities, remains a priority across our client base.
To meet this demand, Jenn Saboe, Ginny Herbert, Marina Segel, and Neil Appleton join us as consultants.
- Jenn comes from Oxford University Press, bringing both experience working with society partners and strong digital and marketing chops. At C&E, she is part of our growing marketing and digital practice.
- Ginny comes from AIP Publishing with strong publishing expertise and particular depth in editorial and author experience. At C&E, she focuses primarily on publishing strategy projects.
- Marina spent nearly 30 years at Wolters Kluwer in operations and organizational transformation, with deep fluency in content workflows, production processes, and organizational change. At C&E, she helps clients streamline and modernize their operations, vendor partnerships, and workflows — especially in increasingly AI-enabled environments.
- Neil joins us from Elsevier, where he held progressively senior leadership roles culminating in executive responsibility for a global portfolio of more than 750 society partnerships. At C&E, he focuses on growth strategy and M&A readiness.
We’re also making a deliberate investment in our own voice. There’s a lot happening in this industry right now, and we would like to be more engaged in sharing our knowledge and perspective. Olivia Holway joins as Marketing Lead to help us do that — bringing six years of experience in marketing strategy, content, and analytics, and a strong interest in how AI is reshaping marketing practice.
We are privileged to work with some of the most ambitious organizations in our sector, and this team reflects our commitment to meeting them where they are. We are excited to welcome Jenn, Ginny, Marina, Neil, and Olivia to the firm. We are grateful for the trust our clients place in us — and excited about what we can do together with this expanded team.
