Leadership Transition Upcoming leadership change with the retirement of Terumi Echols as president and publisher on October 1, 2026 presents a moment to engage for executive positioning, succession planning discussions, and potential opportunities to align IVP’s strategic priorities with a new leadership vision.

Strategic Growth Recent promotions and organizational momentum, including the promotion of Jon Boyd in 2026, indicate an active internal career path and potential for renewed sales conversations around expanding distribution, new imprint initiatives, and scaled marketing partnerships.

Grant-Driven Programs A significant Lilly Endowment grant awarded in 2024 supports Christian parenting and caregiving initiatives, signaling potential for co-branded curriculum, classroom resources, and digital product development opportunities.

Digital and Media Expansion IVP has pursued digital product development and multimedia initiatives (podcast launch in 2021 and digital collaboration efforts with partners) that open doors for licensing, audiobook, e-learning, and classroom-ready consumables for churches, seminaries, and universities.

Financial Scale & Reach With revenue in the $50M–$100M range and a mid-sized team, IVP sits between smaller niche publishers and larger Christian publishers, presenting a solid platform for amplified collaborations, co-publishing, and strategic distribution deals that target both faith-based and academic markets.
