About us

  For more than 200 years 1517 Media has been committed to helping Christian communities and individuals encounter a loving, gracious God and grow in faith, understanding, and response.

In this position, I oversaw the Academic Division's book production and manufacturing teams in the New York and Oxford offices of Oxford University Press. These teams work across OUP's full range of academic publishing groups--humanities, social sciences, law, science, medicine, reference, and higher education--producing 2400 new titles annually. My role was to shape and execute operational goals and objectives so as to poise the team members and team leaders to achieve their primary aim: to add value to book projects through high-quality production and publication in print, online, ebook, and app formats. My production teams managed more than 80% of OUP's academic books through prepress production, overseeing pre-press suppliers in India, the US, and the UK who act as the primary project managers for the titles. I also oversaw the design team responsible for managing third-party cover production. My manufacturing teams managed the print production for all of OUP's academic books, working with printers in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia.

About us

  Oxford University Press was established in the earliest days of printing and throughout our 500-year history we have always been home to the inquisitive, the passionate, and the ambitious. We welcome new ideas and fresh thinking, and offer the opportunity for individuals and teams to make their mark.

We are constantly exploring innovations in the development and delivery of world-class content, and engage with academics and educators around the world to find new and better ways to make information accessible. With a presence in more than 50 countries and millions of customers around the world, an idea launched at OUP can have global impact.

Like the University of Oxford of which we are a part, we are committed to uncompromising standards, freedom of expression, and the enrichment of lives through education. We are a charitable organisation and as such prioritise ethical practice; from the strong relationships we build with authors and teachers through to how we reinvest our surplus.
