OverDrive Names Media Executive CEO as Publisher Licensing Disputes Intensify

Marc DeBevoise, formerly CEO of Brightcove and CBS Interactive, assumed OverDrive's top role on June 23, 2026, after joining as President in March. His expertise in content licensing and platform scaling directly addresses pressure from ongoing publisher disputes over ebook lending terms. The move reflects KKR's preference for installing deal-makers rather than product founders at mature edtech companies.
