August People News
Clarivate announced that CEO Jonathan Gear has stepped down and that the board of directors appointed Matti Shem Tov, former CEO of ProQuest, as the new CEO of Clarivate and member of the board of directors. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Clarivate’s businesses and its mission of advancing innovation through research and knowledge sharing to solve the world’s most complex challenges. I am looking forward to working closely with our committed global colleagues and loyal customers to accelerate growth, increase product innovation and drive value creation for all our stakeholders,” says Shem Tov.Digital Science hired Claire Fox as its chief people officer. Fox has more than 20 years of human resources experience, and one of her previous jobs includes chief people officer at Save the Children International. She also founded her own senior leadership coaching business and wrote the book Work-Life Symbiosis: The Model for Happiness and Balance. “My experience working in international development helped me understand the importance of research in driving systemic change in the world, whether that be in relation to climate change, poverty, discrimination or hunger. So when I found Digital Science, which believes research is the single most powerful transformational force for the long-term improvement of society, I knew it was the right organization for me,” says Fox. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden selected philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, the Silver Professor of Philosophy and Law at New York University, as the winner of the 2024 John W. Kluge Prize for Achievement in the Study of Humanity. Appiah is the current president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, writes The Ethicist column and newsletter for The New York Times Magazine, has authored more than a dozen books (including In My Father’s House: Africa in the Philosophy of Culture), and has taught at Yale, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, and Princeton universities. The Library of Congress will host programming to showcase Appiah’s work to the public. See the September issue of Information Today for more People News.
