Christopher Spalding, VP of Product Management for Research Workflow Solutions at EBSCO Information Services, has spent most of his career working with systems for both research-level libraries and vendors in North America and Europe.  Before coming to EBSCO, Christopher managed library systems departments at Boston University and Simmons College in Boston, MA, Emory University in Atlanta, GA, as well as Novo Nordisk in Copenhagen, Denmark.  Initially coming from the search engine vertical in California, where his interest in data and data management grew, he gravitated to working within academic institutions in the library space. With a career-long interest in all things OPEN, Christopher is now engaged in supporting EBSCO’s commitment to open source communities, open infrastructure, open science, open data, and open access publishing.
