John Rahm is a Director at Minnesota Historical Society Press. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with John as Trade Sales Manager as Capstone endeavored to build a list directed at the consumer marketplace. John brought a very solid background in educational publishing to the process, as well as a solid understanding of the Trade environment and what it takes to be successful there. His efforts moved Capstone from a modest representation in the trade marketplace to a significant presence, including publishing a picture book which won a Caldecott Honor from the American Library Association. John's insights into marketplace needs and a broad understanding of Capstone's publishing assets allowed him to acquire strong properties and, even better, to repurpose existing content into new products delivering additional revenue with little additional investment. John was able to create products that worked in multiple channels, adapting educational properties to make strong trade titles, and vice versa. Guiding the design and scope of a concept at the beginning, he created titles with their repurposing already engineered into them. John was a creative, affable, focused, and productive colleague, and a pleasure to work with. His broad range of skills would allow him to become a productive contributor to a variety of organizations." and "John Rahm is one of the most talented, highly skilled product developers I've ever worked with. John creatively analyzes market and sales information, he spots real opportunities that others overlook, and he develops bold product concepts that engage customers. Collaborating with John is a delight. He is insightful, creative, financially savvy, and a terrific asset for any publishing or content development company. "
