Shelfari Names Former Publishers Weekly and New York Times Executive, Director of Sales and Marketing

We’re excited to be expanding our global sales and marketing efforts by naming David Nudo Director Sales and Marketing.  Mr. Nudo’s primary duties include spearheading Shelfari’s international sales development efforts and working closely with publishing houses to promote their titles directly to Shelfari’s more than 1 million avid readers.

“David is a remarkably talented veteran and respected voice in the publishing world,” said Josh Hug, Shelfari CEO.  “His experience and deep relationships with international publishing houses will help as Shelfari bridges the gap between publishers and their readers through its online community.  David’s standing in the industry will guide us as we develop the best possible advertising platform for the publishing industry.” 

An executive with an impressive and well-regarded track record of success in trade and consumer publishing, Mr. Nudo was most recently Vice President and Publisher at Publishers Weekly, where he is credited with integrating print and online advertising packages that resulted in 50% growth in online revenue for the industry powerhouse.  Prior, Mr. Nudo was Managing Director of book advertising at the New York Times.  Additionally, Mr. Nudo served as sales director at Reed Business Information, where he launched a special sales department for Publishers Weekly, as well as for its affiliated publications Library Journal and School Library Journal.

“As traditional publishing continues to converge with technology, I am very excited to join Shelfari which is at the creative forefront of this evolution,” said Mr. Nudo.  “Their vision and solutions are creating endless new possibilities in both publishing and literary social networking, and I look forward to expanding Shelfari’s global sales and marketing efforts in this new age.” .

Welcome David!  We’re pleased to have you as part of the Shelfari Team.
