Don Yannias was appointed to be the Chief Executive Officer of Encyclopædia Britannica Inc. on 4 March 1997, after having become a director in January 1996. He was instrumental in developing the digital (CD/DVD-ROM) and online versions of the Encyclopædia Britannica.
The Encyclopædia Britannica, formerly published by Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., is a general knowledge English-language encyclopaedia. It was written by about 100 full-time editors and more than 4,000 contributors. The 2010 version of the 15th edition, which spans 32 volumes and 32,640 pages, was the last printed edition.
In 1999, Yannias was appointed CEO of Britannica.com Inc., when that company was set up as a separate corporation to deal with the Britannica's digital assets. On 19 May 2001, Yannias was replaced by Ilan Yeshua. Yannias returned to his prior career in investment management but remains on the Britannica's board of directors.
