He was appointed to the OCLC Board of Trustees in 2017. Before joining OCLC, Skip was President and CEO of Ingram Content Group Inc., a leading global content and services provider. During his time at Ingram, he expanded Ingram\u2019s international locations to continental Europe and Australia, strengthened its digital offerings, and repositioned the company as a services provider.

Skip led a successful transformation at ProQuest. Earlier in his career, he held a number of executive positions with LexisNexis. Among Skip\u2019s many passions is his Leadership Insights blog where he interviews authors and thought leaders and shares his views on a number of topics. His new book, The Book of Mistakes: 9 Secrets to Creating a Successful Future, is based on insights he has learned from more than a thousand of those interviews. His views on the future of books, publishing, and libraries have been featured in various national and international media. He is a frequent keynote speaker at conferences around the world.
