Hi, I’m Jon Beer, COO and Co-Founder at Zapnito.
I help businesses to power Community-Led Growth by translating Zapnito's vision for curated expert communities into your own business objectives. I have 22 years experience helping technology businesses to deliver digital experiences, so am always open to sharing my insights on making legitimate knowledge and expertise discoverable over the web. Let’s connect!
For nearly 20 years, I've worked in the digital media sector, with hands-on experience in editorial, marketing, sales and R&D. I'm passionate about engaging and understanding customers to develop great content and products. Formerly Chief Product & Customer Officer at Zapnito, I'm now an advisor to the company.
I am the Publishing Director of the Nature Research Journals, which means I have the immense privilege of leading the publishing team for the Nature Journals. I am responsible for the business development of the journals, working closely with editorial, marketing and sales departments. It’s a rewarding and fascinating job working with talented teams across many departments. I have had a varied career at Springer Nature (and prior to that Nature Publishing Group) over the last 18 years working in publishing, project management, editorial and web development roles . Prior to moving into publishing (and some time ago now) I was a postdoc at Cornell University where I used laser spectroscopy and imaging techniques to study the UV photo-dissociation of ozone.
