Post-Acquisition Growth Prompts Organizational Redesign, Opens Senior Positions for Book Publishing and Donor Engagement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April. 28, 2025—Christian publisher David C Cook, parent company of Integrity Music, announced a strategic realignment of its executive leadership team to support growth following the acquisition of Group Publishing.  

Jana Zachman has been named president, while Chadd Miller has shifted into the role of chief operating officer. Additionally, Dan Tancik will serve as the publisher’s chief curriculum officer. These changes reflect a broader restructuring to elevate creative output and increase efficiency across three newly defined divisions: books and resources; curriculum and VBS; and music. 

Zachman has been with David C Cook since 2003, when she joined as a senior accountant in the finance department. Since then, she has held larger assignments in the finance department, operations and the supply chain across the ministry, leading up to her recent role as chief operating officer. 

Miller also has a long history with David C Cook, working with the ministry in the late 1990s before rejoining the organization in 2018. He most recently served as the divisional president of David C Cook publishing.  

Tancik joined David C Cook after its late 2024 acquisition of VBS curriculum leader Group Publishing, where he served for 25 years, most recently as chief operating officer. As a result of the acquisition and related growth, David C Cook is actively hiring for two additional positions: executive publisher over its books and resources division, and executive vice president of donor engagement. Interested applicants can view the open job listings through the David C Cook website.  

“Jana, Chadd and Dan each bring unique strengths and leadership styles to our organization,” said Bill Reeves, CEO of David C Cook. “As the ministry continues to grow and equip the Church, both locally and globally, we are excited to have the right leaders in the right positions to help inspire and guide our teams into the future.”
