Dan Burke, Library Product Manager

Dan is responsible for improvements and upgrades to the Alibris Library site. He's in his second stint with Alibris since 2007, having most recently spent a year working for Google. But it's clear that books are in his blood: Prior to Alibris, he worked for MBS Direct (a virtual bookstore), and his first job was as a shelver at a public library. Additionally, his father works as a binder in a printing company, so he's seen all aspects of the business. Dan has a B.A. from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and in his free time enjoys reading, barbecuing, hanging out with his family and playing with his dog, Sasha. For compliments, complaints, or suggestions about any aspect of how you do business with Alibris, send him an email.
