Folks, Carlsen Publishing is shaking things up in the children's and young adult book sphere! Get ready for some fresh blood!
Sandra Harzer-Kux, a 52-year-old powerhouse in media management, will soon be heading up the Hamburg-based publishing powerhouse, starting in October. Current CEO, Renate Herre, who's been with the company for a good fourteen years, is passing the torch. Harzer-Kux will be running the joint along with Joachim Kaufmann, making for an exciting duo.
Carlsen Publishing? Yeah, they're the folks behind some timeless gems like children's books and the classic comic series, "Tintin." Today, they're better known for blockbuster book series such as "Harry Potter," "The School of Magic Animals," "Percy Jackson," the "Twilight" saga, and Japanese manga albums from series like "Naruto" and "One Piece."
The CEO of Germany's Bonnier Group, who owns Carlsen, heaped praise on Renate Herre for her entrepreneurial spirit. settlement under Herre's leadership, the publishing house expanded its revenue to an incredible 110 million euros—making it the largest German trade publisher! Harzer-Kux aims to build on that stellar success; the future's looking bright!
In recent years, Harzer-Kux has held top positions in the media industry, including at publishing house Gruner+Jahr and communications company Territory. What's more, she was nominated as the new NDR director, but unfortunately, she fell short of the necessary votes in the broadcasting council. Current director, Joachim Knuth, will make room for NDR manager and journalist Hendrik Lünenborg.
So, keep your eyes peeled for all the brilliant publications to come from Carlsen Publishing, led by the dynamic Sandra Harzer-Kux! And if you're extra curious, be sure to check out the company's official website or recent news releases for all the latest deets.
