(over 2 years)
As Executive Editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I oversaw the stewardship of classic brands including Curious George, Gossie and Friends, Little Blue Truck, and The Little Prince. I expanded the footprint of the company's rich backlist through innovative formats, grew existing brands with on-trend titles, acquired creative new titles, and on-boarded several new partnerships. I was also responsible for starting an IP program, launching new series and titles inspired by media and educational trends.
