About Me

As Managing Partner of Information Media Partners, I have over 20 years experience in the publishing industry having worked in virtually all publishing segments. Since 2006, I have consulted and advised media companies seeking to expand their businesses and effectively manage in a rapidly changing business environment. From 1999 - 2005, I was a senior executive at RR Bowker where I held the position of President for five years. Bowker is an industry leading bibliographic database company and also supplies the industry with key supply chain information products. I have also been active in industry associations (AAP, BISG) and standards organizations. I have also served on the International ISBN executive committee where I held the position of Chairman. My prior business experience also includes management consulting with PricewaterhouseCoopers and I started my publishing career as a retail book buyer at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
