Just ahead of GTS, IDW Publishing announced Kurt Nelson, a 16-year veteran of the gaming industry, most notably with Cryptozoic Entertainment and Upper Deck, will join IDW as Sales Manager.
Nelson’s primary role will be sales management for the new IDW Games (see "IDW Games Reprints Pandasaurus Titles" and "IDW Games Launches with 'Kill Shakespeare'") as well as for mass-market initiatives including IDW’s Micro-Comic Fun Packs (see "'TMNT Micro Comic Fun Packs'").
Nelson has over 16 years of sales management experience in the gaming industry. He was Director of Sales at Cryptozoic Entertainment, Retail Sales Manager at GTS, and Sales Manager at Upper Deck from 1997 – 2010 (see "Upper Deck Company Profile"), which included managing the distribution of Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Nelson’s time at Upper Deck overlapped with that of IDW COO Greg Goldstein, who was Vice President of Gaming and Entertainment at Upper Deck from 2006-2008, just before joining IDW (see "Greg Goldstein Joins IDW").
