In announcing the expansion of the management team, Paul J. Crecca stated, "It gives me great pleasure to recognize the significant contributions that Terry, Scott, Celeste, and Wendy have made throughout all areas of our employee-owned business. All four of these publishing professionals have consistently demonstrated a thorough understanding and commitment to Westchester's clients and staff. The pandemic has presented our company with a variety of never before experienced challenges requiring carefully considered decisions that balance the needs of both our clients and our global operations teams. Due to their adept capability, we were able to effectively and quickly transition our global editorial and production services staff to a primarily remote-based operational model. Using this approach, Westchester has successfully provided a safe working environment for our employees, while also offering an expanded range of pre-press services solutions that address the evolving needs of our nearly 400 publisher and content provider clients. With this experienced management team in place to lead our Editorial Services, Production Services, Journal Services, and Customer Services teams into the next chapter of Westchester's history, I look forward to continued success for our company."

Within Westchester's sales and marketing operation, Tyler M. Carey, Chief Revenue Officer, announced that Hugh M. Shiebler, a sales professional with more than three decades of publishing industry experience has joined the company as the Director of Client Solutions. "I'm excited to welcome Hugh to the Westchester sales team. The extensive experience he brings to this role, along with a deep understanding of the academic publishing, university press, industry trade publishing, journal publications, and policy group spaces will prove to be a valuable asset for our clients when calibrating the customized services that are best suited to their publication projects," Carey shared.
