New York, N.Y. — Bonnier Corp. CEO Terry Snow has announced the hiring of Sean Holzman to the newly created position of Chief Brand Development Officer. His primary responsibility is the licensing of the company's brands, editorial, video, mobile and television products and developing new revenue streams.

"Bonnier is a rapidly growing company that has a broad portfolio of assets and a strong management team. That's key," said Holzman. "There's huge potential to actively develop seamless licensing programs for the Bonnier brands and keep them at the forefront of emerging platforms."

Holzman brings Bonnier more than a decade's experience aggressively securing new revenue and growth channels. At Source Interlink Media, Holzman oversaw business development, licensing, new media and television across all of Source Interlink Media's properties, driving growth, brand equity and customer connections for its titles beyond the traditional newsstand.
