Simon & Schuster has appointed Cam Cloeter v-p of distributor sales and retail marketing. Cloeter, who joined S&S last week, had most recently served as v-p of sales, marketing, strategic planning and new business development at the Source Information Management Company, and prior to that had been v-p of sales at Time Distribution Services. At S&S, Cloeter will oversee sales of all S&S product into the independent distributor channels, including national and regional wholesalers. Cloeter will report to Rick Richter, president of the S&S sales and distribution division.
Earlier this summer, S&S promoted two executives in its new media division. Giles Dana was named president and publisher of the division and will continue to oversee all audio and interactive publishing programs. Also in the division, Chris Lynch was promoted to v-p and associate publisher for Simon & Schuster Audio. He will continue to serve as editorial director for the audio unit.
