Great Minds Names New Sales Director

WASHINGTON, June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Great Minds®, the nonprofit which created Eureka Math™ and Wit & Wisdom™, has named Julie Huston Director of Sales.

Julie Huston brings 15 years of experience serving K-12 educators to guiding curriculum (print and digital) and professional development sales for the rapidly growing nonprofit. 

Until recently, she was head of sales for Motion Math, a producer of math games. From 2002 to 2012, she led the sales team at Archipelago Learning (now Edmentum) and was instrumental in rolling out Study Island, Archipelago's core product line, to more than 22,000 schools across the U.S. and Canada.

"Leading the sales team at Great Minds is unlike any opportunity I've encountered before," Huston said. "The excitement around Eureka Math and Wit & Wisdom is uncommon and inspiring."
