Thomas Nelson has promoted Sally Hofmann and Tom Knight. Hofmann will move to Plano, Texas, to join the company's live events leadership team as senior vice president of sales and marketing. Knight will oversee all of the company's publishing units as senior vice president of sales.

With 17 years of experience in sales management, Hofmann joined Nelson in 2005—serving most recently as senior vice president of general market and international sales, where she led the division to unprecedented sales growth.

"We are very committed to growing our live-events business," said Thomas Nelson President and CEO Mark Schoenwald. "Sally is a results oriented leader with a proven track record."

Knight brings nearly 30 years of experience in both the publishing and music industries. He joined Nelson in 2007 as vice president of independent retail, leading the Christian retail and ministry sales divisions for the last year and a half.

"Throughout his career, Tom has demonstrated the ability to develop strong teams and build alignment around strategic plans," Schoenwald said. "With his hands-on management, he will rally, support and augment each of our publishing sales divisions."
