NASHVILLE — The Christian publishing company Thomas Nelson has named Michael S. Hyatt as chief executive officer. He succeeds Sam Moore, who will remain as chairman of the board.
“This change is part of the management succession process designed to ensure that our company will continue to grow well into the future,” Moore said in a statement released Aug. 18 by the Nashville-based company.
In 2004, Hyatt succeeded Moore as president and also became the company’s chief operating officer.
Hyatt, 50, joined Thomas Nelson for the second time in 1998 as vice president and associate publisher for the Nelson Books division. He was vice president of marketing for Thomas Nelson in the mid-’80s, then started Wolgemuth & Hyatt, his own publishing company, in 1986; it was acquired by Word Publishing in 1992. The author of four books, he was a literary agent from 1992 to 1998.
