Kevin Serpanchy

Kevin Serpanchy is Chief Commercial Officer at Proofig AI, the leading image integrity platform for publishers, research integrity officers and research institutions around the world.  Proofig AI has screened more than 400,000 manuscripts for over 1,200 research institutions and now offers Octym which conducts more than 25 integrity checks in a manuscript review. He works directly with scientific publishers, universities and research institutions on how automated screening fits into real editorial and research workflows, and has led the company’s enterprise partnerships across North America, Europe and APAC.

That work has provided real world experience to address the practical questions facing this panel: Where image screening belongs in the submission pipeline, what editors actually do with the output, and how publishers and institutions share the burden of post-publication review.

Before Proofig, Kevin spent two decades leading commercial teams at EdTech and SaaS companies in the US, Australia and the Middle East, including as Senior Director at ProQuest. He is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the US.
