Senior Vice President

Kumon is an education management institution that offers after-school math and reading enrichment program.

I've spent more than two decades in the publishing business, serving across a broad range of functions, including executive-level management, editorial, sales and marketing, strategic planning, production and rights/co-editions. I have extensive experience working for companies not only in the US, but also Asia and Europe. I am also a published author. During my tenure with Kumon Publishing, we've expanded from two customers and 8 titles to a comprehensive national and international sales network, multiple foreign-language editions and more than 200 titles. I have in-depth experience working with key players in the book retail market, including B&N, Amazon, Indigo/Chapters, Costco, Walmart, Target and Staples. I am uniquely positioned to establish and oversee new US subsidiaries of established overseas publishing companies, or to manage publishing start-ups. Specialties: US and international sales; management; rights and co-editions; strategic partnerships; editorial development; opening key accounts and establishing sales/distribution networks.
