Posted on: Monday, 9 March 2009, 10:09 CDT

WASHINGTON, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- David Bradley, chairman of Atlantic Media Company, announced today the appointment of Matt Dunie as General Manager of the company's Government Executive Media Group. Dunie will join Atlantic Media's executive team later this month. As General Manager of Government Executive Media Group, Dunie will oversee all aspects of Atlantic Media's business-to-business product offerings targeting the government market.

Dunie was the President of Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) from 2000 to 2007 when the company acquired ProQuest to form ProQuest-CSA. Under Dunie's leadership, CSA grew its revenues ten-fold through acquisitions and organic growth fueled by new product introductions and innovations. Dunie continued as President of the newly formed ProQuest, a 1,200 person global information services company.

Bradley explained, "I have been thinking for some time of recruiting an executive to expand our efforts in the business-to-business sector. The success our Government Executive team has demonstrated in navigating this challenging economic environment and the changes transforming the media landscape has convinced me that this is the right time for us to be expanding our growth efforts in this area. Throughout my career, I have recruited new colleagues for two salient attributes: force of intellect and a personal spirit of generosity. Matt has demonstrated those attributes throughout his career, and I am pleased to have him joining my executive leadership team."

"I am very excited to join Atlantic Media in this stage of its growth," said Dunie. "Government Executive is a terrific brand with exceptional people that has tremendous impact and even greater potential in this very important market. I look forward to leading the effort to expand the group's reach and influence through the launch of new products and the extension into related markets."

Dunie arrives at Atlantic Media as Government Executive begins its fifth decade of serving those who manage the agencies and programs of the federal government. From its beginnings as a monthly magazine 40 years ago, Government Executive has grown a rich franchise of print and web publishing, conferences and meetings that both delivers news of central interest to its audience and helps define the good-government agenda from day to day and month to month. The franchise now includes two web sites, GovernmentExecutive.com, serving a wide cross-section of government managers, and Nextgov.com, specializing in service to the federal information technology community. Government Executive Media Group also organizes the annual Excellence in Government Conference, a series of Leadership Breakfasts at the National Press Club, and other live and online events. Its Government Business Council offers a host of custom marketing solutions for companies looking to reach the government market.

Government Executive President and Publisher Steven M. Vito will continue in his current position, managing core product lines. He will report to Dunie, who said, "I am looking forward to working with Steve and his team, and expect to benefit greatly from Steve's deep knowledge of the markets Government Executive now serves."
