After spending the first 10 years of his career advising technology and media companies on IPOs and M&A at one of Europe’s leading investment banks, Milan came into the world of scholarly publishing in 2005 as Springer’s EVP for Mergers and Acquisitions.
In the decade that followed, Milan played a pivotal role in Springer’s acquisition of BioMed Central, the sale of Springer to new private equity owners in both 2009 and 2013, as well as the merger between Springer and Macmillan Science and Education in 2015 that resulted in the formation of Springer Nature.
After leaving Springer Nature in 2020, Milan joined forces with two former colleagues to launch Park 56, a boutique advisory firm that has been involved in nearly 20 acquisitions and investments within its first few years, including the sale of PeerJ to Taylor and Francis, Springer’s acquisition of both Atlantis Press and Slimmer AI, and De Gruyter’s acquisition of Ubiquity Press as well as its merger with Brill.
