Larry Downs has left his job as president of Editorial Unilit to become vice president of Caribe-Betania Editores, the Spanish publishing imprint of Thomas Nelson.

Caribe-Betania is a Spanish publishing industry leader providing books based in core Christian values. The Spanish book market generates approximately $1.5 billion in annual sales with the Christian sector representing $45 million to $50 million of that total.

Editorial Unilit is a Miami-based publisher of Spanish Christian books. Downs became its president in 2003.

"Larry's many years of successful experience in nearly every facet of Spanish Christian publishing will take Caribe's publishing program to new heights," said Tod Shuttleworth, vice president and publisher of Caribe. "Larry's relationships will improve Caribe's ability to understand consumer needs and improve our service to the industry."

Downs will relocate to Nashville from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
