Mark Allin served as the CEO of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., a company that has been around for over 200 years, from June 1, 2015, to May 8, 2017. Before becoming CEO, he climbed the ranks during his 14 years with the company, starting with the acquisition of his own company, Capstone Publishing, which he founded. He has a solid business background, holding a degree from the University of Michigan. His leadership style focused heavily on performance metrics, pushing the company to meet financial goals in revenue and profit. Interesting to note, when he resigned as CEO, he had a severance package that included two times his annual salary and continued benefits for healthcare. Despite a rocky finish to his tenure, Allin's journey at Wiley marked a significant transition in leadership as the company adjusted to modernize and tackle new market challenges.
