Thanks Dan - looking forward to it!
Hi everyone, I’m Todd, the Executive Director of NISO. I’m so excited you’re all here. This is my 14th year running NISO and it gets more and more exciting each year. Thank you all for joining in the community conversations here and during the conference this week. It will be fun and hopefully impactful.

I should probably introduce myself as well! I’m Jason Griffey, Director of Strategic Initiatives at NISO, and Director of the NISO Plus Conference. I’m excited to see what everyone thinks of what we’ve put together for you, and if anyone has questions, please reach out to me…during, or after the conference.

As a former president of NFAIS (2018) and a leader on the team that merged NISO with NFAIS, I’m super excited to be back here to see so many familiar faces and to make new friends and how much this new organization has grown!! I’m the former sr. director of product management for Scopus (Elsevier). So, what do I do now? “I provide applied research and product management strategy services to clients in scholarly communications (scholcomm) and organizations in media & the arts, investigative journalism and product design.”
I left full-time scholcomm in late 2018 to pursue projects in arts and media that are centered around creative use of OSINT (open source intellegence) research. My work ranges from competitive and market intelligence, on one side of the spectrum, and privacy and OPSEC on the other. Clients range from fractional product management leadership at independent media groups such as McProjectz & pleasekillme.com (yes, that is safe for work), JaimeLevy dot com, Supervert dot com and geopolitical forecasting groups. On the #scholcomm and #scicomm side, recent projects have included work with AIPP and AAPT (I like physicists…).
When I have time, I volunteer for #osintforgood organizations hunting for missing persons, or more recently, working to identify bad guys on behalf of LEO (law enforcement) and IC (intelligence community) organizations. Longtime member of the EFF (so glad to see Cory here today!) and related organizations that are concerned with protecting privacy and security of the global citizenry.

Hi all NISOPlussers! I hope I am posting this in the right place… I am a researcher and assistant professor in the School of Public Health at University of Alabama at Birmingham.
