Quarto Group has made new appointments in its global sales and marketing operations following a restructuring of those functions in 2016 that created a global sales and marketing platform to service all Quarto imprints.
The global English language sales team now reports to Ken Fund, in his new role as chief operating officer, and is structured into three main channels: U.S. sales; U.K. and Europe sales, and international sales.
