The Trojman Corporation, Canada
In 1989, Salvy worked part-time in the Scott Library during his undergrad years at York University. His manager said to him, “You love information, and you love helping people. You should become a publisher’s rep.” Salvy responded, “What’s a publisher’s rep?” And so, the journey began. After graduation, Salvy accepted a position with R.R. Bowker Publishing. They were converting Books in Print and many other print directories to CD-ROM technology. In 2000, Salvy moved to then Thomson Gale and quickly worked his way up the ranks, becoming a Director within the Digital Archive program in 2006, with progressive roles leading to Canadian Country Manager in 2017. During his twenty-one years at Gale managing the Canadian academic market, Salvy has built tremendous customer relationships (with both faculty and librarians), has become well respected among his industry peers, and has grown his passion for supporting libraries of all types.
