NEW YORK, NY, June 18, 2024 – Christine Reilley has been appointed managing director of publishing for The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), reporting to chief operating officer Jeff Patterson. One of the largest technical publishing operations in the world, ASME offers thousands of titles including some of the engineering profession’s most prestigious peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and ASME Press e-books.
“With this appointment, ASME reaffirms our longstanding commitment to support global research communities through the production and distribution of high-quality journals, conference proceedings and new content types,” said Jeff Patterson, ASME’s chief operating officer. “Christine’s deep background in strategy, innovation, and publishing workflows makes her the ideal leader to accelerate our efforts to raise impact factors, improve paper submission and review processes, and increase subscriber satisfaction.”
Reilley began her tenure with ASME more than 20 years ago in the publishing department as an editor, overseeing the production of codes and standards from manuscript to final bound and digital product. In 2012, she moved to the emerging technologies unit, leading the development of content and conferences in the areas of bioengineering, nanotechnology, thermofluids, and materials. She also served as staff lead for the bioengineering/healthcare team and the engineering sciences segment. Most recently, she was managing director of strategy and innovation for ASME.
Reilley earned a Master of Science degree in biomedical engineering with a concentration in tissue engineering and biomaterials from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Rutgers University, Douglass College.
About ASME
ASME helps the global engineering community develop solutions to real-world challenges. Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education, and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world. In 2020, ASME formed the International Society of Interdisciplinary Engineers (ISIE) II & III LLC, a new for-profit subsidiary to house business ventures that will bring new and innovative products, services, and technologies to the engineering community.
