Heather Crosbie
Director
Heather is a veteran of the information industry with many years working in the UK, South Africa and now Australia. In a former life she was a librarian in the academic, public, corporate and government sectors but a combination of opportunism and a series of mergers and acquisitions led Heather to her current role as Director of RMIT Publishing in February 2008. Outside of work, she loves keeping fit by chasing her husband around half marathon circuits so they can eat and drink with impunity. |
