August 2025
OpenRxiv has named its first CEO, Dr. Tracy Teal, who served as interim Chief Operating Officer of the newly founded organization, which launched in March. Prior to joining OpenRxiv, she was Executive Director of both The Carpentries and Dryad.
From Dr. John Inglis, Chair of openRxiv’s Science and Medical Advisory Board and co-founder of bioXrkiv and medRxiv:
“Tracy’s appointment as CEO recognizes her exceptional contributions to openRxiv’s launch and early growth. Her obvious experience as a scientist, educator, fundraiser, and nonprofit leader has earned her the trust of the entire preprint team, and her character and skills make her uniquely qualified to guide openRxiv in advancing open science on a global scale.”
