Retirement Announcement from Kevin Stranack, PKP Director of Operations

By Kevin Stranack

After much reflection, the time has come for me to retire, effective at the end of this year. This marks the end of a deeply fulfilling chapter in my life — one filled with purpose, collaboration, and a shared commitment to open knowledge and community-driven progress in open source, open access publishing.

I’ve been fortunate to work with so many brilliant people over the years, and I’m extremely proud of what we’ve achieved together. I leave with gratitude and excitement for what comes next—not just for me, but for the inspiring work that continues at PKP.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey with me. It’s been an honour.

Watch for an upcoming job posting, and please help to share it widely. I want as many people as possible to know about this unique opportunity to lead this amazing team.

Kevin
