Lulu Stader

Membership Manager

Lulu started assessing membership applications for OASPA in September 2017 and has gradually been providing more support for OASPA’s membership processes. Lulu is an academic publishing professional with a PhD in evolutionary ecology and more than 25 years of experience. Open Access and the future of scholarly publishing are very close to her heart. For the past 16 years, Lulu has been freelancing remotely for international publishers such as Oxford University Press, Elsevier, PLoS and Springer, from her home in the beautiful Scottish Highlands (if she is not hill-walking). She also consults as Executive Administrator for the Society of Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE).

Malavika Legge

Program Manager

Malavika is Program Manager, leading a range of activities that directly support OASPA’s mission. With strong roots in content development and extensive licensing experience developed over a 16-year career in STM publishing, Malavika has a love for harnessing workflows and technology on the one hand, and galvanising people and communities on the other, to help deliver open access for scholarly content. Much of her experience is in cross-functional working: bringing disparate teams together and using data and creativity to find ways of achieving sustainable open access. Malavika is also Chair of the Society Publishers’ Coalition (SocPC).

Prior to joining OASPA, Malavika was Publisher, and then Director of Publishing, for the Biochemical Society, where she championed an open agenda while transforming the publishing model in favour of open science. She started her career at Informa Healthcare, where she held editorial, licensing and management roles working across peer-reviewed journals, books and databases.
