(KGL) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Deyton as Senior Director, Partnerships and Growth, responsible for driving strategic collaborations, sales initiatives, and business expansion across KGL’s global portfolio of editorial, peer review, research integrity, and content services. 

Deyton is an accomplished publishing executive and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in scholarly communications.
