“I’m excited to be part of Team Britannica because the brands underpinned by their strong missions have the potential to change the face of the knowledge and education industries globally,” said Krishnan. “Given the global push to transform education and the eroding public trust in the quality and veracity of information on the Internet, the time is now for Team Britannica to join forces with consumers and public and private entities to make a positive difference.”
Krishnan previously served for more than a decade at RELX in various leadership roles, driving business and cultural transformations and accelerating growth, according to a news release.
He most recently was senior vice president and general manager of clinical reference solutions. His other positions within RELX included senior vice president and general manager of global pharma and e-commerce and vice president of interactive media.
