DSTLRY has brought André D. Anderson on board as their new Head of Sales & Retailer Relations, responsible for overseeing both the direct market and the book channel. Anderson has been providing sales operations advice to DSTLRY since shortly after the publisher launched in April 2023. Previously, he was VP of Sales, North America, for Pixlee TurnTo (which was acquired by Emplifi.io) from 2021-23 and Director, Partnerships & Business Development at Narvar before that, and he also is also an advisor to reSource Portal!
In addition to his sales experience, Anderson is a lifelong comics fan. “I’ve adored sequential art my whole life and can’t wait to help celebrate the next era of creator-owned comics with the true life-blood of the medium—comic book shops and book stores,” he said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
“André is truly a passionate fan of comics with an exemplary history of sales growth,” said DSTLRY co-founder and CEO David Steinberger.
“DSTLRY wouldn’t be here today without the support of comic book shops and book stores, and André will allow us to address their needs and celebrate our books on a new scale,” added DSTLRY co-founder and CCO Chip Mosher.
DSTLRY recently gave Director of Operations Bryce Gold an additional title as Head of New Talent (see “DSTLRY’s Bryce Gold Adds a Title”).
