Remembering our dear colleague, Linda Vendryes

It is with the greatest sadness that we share news of the passing of our dear colleague, Linda Vendryes, who lost her three-year battle with cancer last weekend.

Linda had worked in the publishing and digital industry since the mid-1990s. She brought extraordinary skills and a wealth of experience to every role, sharing both generously with her colleagues.

One of the original members of the NetLibrary team, Linda also worked at Coutts Information Services, myiLibrary, Swets/Martinus Nijhoff, Springer Verlag, and was one of the original members of the Kortext team.

Her loss is felt deeply by all who were fortunate enough to know her. We send our condolences to Linda’s family at this difficult time.
