Pete May Named Publisher of Network Magazine

Posted on November 24, 1998

Miller Freeman announced that Pete May has been named Publisher of Network Magazine. May, currently in charge of Miller Freeman's Geneva, Switzerland subsidiary, returns to start with Network Magazine February 1, 1999.

May noted, "I'm excited to come back to the technology marketplace with Network Magazine. Miller Freeman has invested heavily in the past two years, doubling the circulation and enriching the editorial product of this magazine and its website. The product is excellent, but needs to be more aggressively marketed in the current competitive environment. My job will be to make sure the market understands the valuable role that this title and its readers play in the purchase of networking products."

May brings to the title 12 years of experience in high-tech publishing. From 1983 to 1992 he built the International Marketing division for M&T Publishing, which was acquired by Miller Freeman in 1993. May then ran the International Marketing division for Miller Freeman from 1993 to 1995. In 1995 he became Managing Director of Miller Freeman's Geneva, Switzerland, office.

Steve Schneiderman, vice president of Miller Freeman's Voice/Data Group, said the naming of May sends a strong signal to the marketplace about Miller Freeman's ongoing commitment to the Communications category. "Network Magazine started its approach to a client-focused model of service under the stewardship of Bill Howard, who has been promoted to the position of vice president of sales and marketing for Miller Freeman's high technology properties. As one of Miller Freeman's most customer-oriented executives, Pete May is sure to take this approach to the next level. We're confident that Pete and his staff will communicate the great value of Network Magazine to the networking market."
