Trevecca Nazarene University President Dan Boone recently announced the appointment of David Caldwell as the university's new executive vice president for Finance and Administration. Caldwell, a 1984 graduate of Trevecca and a certified public accountant, worked for Touché Ross & Company and Gillett Group Management prior to 1990, when he became vice president of Finance for EMI Christian Music Group and later senior vice president and general manager of EMI CMG Label Group.

At EMI Caldwell had responsibility for label finance and sales, operations, creative services, and A&R post production departments and also led a management staff of more than 20 individuals. He worked on the business issues involved in the signing of artists, including Toby Mac, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, Switchfoot, David Crowder, and Avalon, among others.
 
During his tenure at EMI, company sales grew from $19.9 million to more than $105.9 million and earned more than 123 gold and platinum album certifications, 170 Dove Awards, and 20 Grammy Awards, and the company was named Billboard's Christian Label of the Year for 13 years.

Caldwell has served on the board of the Gospel Music Association. He and his wife, Sherry, have one son. The family attends Trevecca Community Church of the Nazarene.

Caldwell replaces Mark W. Myers, who retired in December 2009 after serving as Trevecca's executive vice president since 1994.
