Former general manager, digital publishing at Adobe Bill McCoy will join the IDPF as executive director on January 9. Additionally, “in conjunction with Bill’s joining and anticipated future growth, the IDPF is establishing its office location in the Seattle, WA area.”

Matthew Inman joins Hyperion as editor, having most recently been an associate editor at Harper. He will acquire a nonfiction list that includes business, politics, narrative, investigative journalism, and popular culture.

Shambhala evp Sara Hamsa Bercholz (also a co-owner, and daughter of the founder) “will work closely with Odiseos in looking towards the future of this 40 year old company – to pursue new opportunities, publish creatively in a dynamic market, and to succeed in bringing Shambhala’s…message to people around the world.”
