 Editorial Unilit has named Spanish Christian product industry veteran Sam Rodriguez as vice president of product development.
Rodriguez, who has more than 20 years of experience in the publishing industry, was associate director at Grupo Nelson--the Spanish division of Thomas Nelson--where he led in the areas of new author acquisitions, marketing and advertising. Tod Suttleworth, vice president of Thomas Nelson, said Rodriguez "played a key role during his last five years with us, where sales increased by a 22% margin." Editorial Unilit President David Ecklebarger added: "We believe that his gifts and experience will complement our already effective publishing, sales and marketing team. I look forward to working with him." |
