Clarivate names Veinstein as president of its Academia & Government arm

Clarivate has named Bar Veinstein as president for Academia & Government, effective this month. It marks the second of three appointments to the organisation’s newly created market segments, with Gordon Samson recently named president for Intellectual Property. A Life Sciences and Healthcare president is still to come.

Veinstein joins from Taranis, an AI-powered crop intelligence provider, where he was c.e.o. He previously spent 11 years with the Ex Libris Group, now part of Clarivate, and under his leadership as president, oversaw its expansion to serve over 7,500 institutions in 90 countries.

Jonathan Gear, chief executive officer of Clarivate, said: “With his existing connections to customers and in-depth knowledge of our products I’m delighted that Bar is joining us as President for our Academia & Government (A&G) market segment. Based on his experience in the industry and personal focus on working for organisations with a clear purpose and sustainable practices, I’m confident he will be instrumental to delivering innovation and progress for Clarivate.

“In this newly created role, he will be responsible for accelerating the growth of our A&G segment. This segment supports academic and government institutions on their quest to build a better world by connecting students, faculty and staff to transformative intelligence and trusted content that drives research excellence and student success. This is the second of our presidential appointments and we look forward to providing further updates in due course.”
