By Erin Somers

Christopher Hohns has joined DK as vp, commercial finance, for North America. He was previously co-chief transformation lead at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions, part of the Bertelsmann Group.

Stina Andersson has been named the new ceo of Bonnier Group, the parent company of Bonnier Books UK, effective September 1. She is currently the chief operating officer at trade and service businesses giant Axel Johnson.

Jennifer Ung has joined Quill Tree Books as executive editor. She was at Simon & Schuster Children’s. Also at Harper Children’s, David Curtis has been promoted to design manager.

Emily Greenhouse has been named editor of The New York Review of Books. She succeeded Ian Buruma as co-editor with Gabriel Winslow-Yost in 2019. Jana Prikryl will become executive editor, Daniel Drake production editor, and Maya Chung associate editor.

Longtime book editor Genevieve Young, 89, died peacefully at home just over a year ago — February 18, 2020 — remembered just recently in a formal obit by the AP. (The notice we linked originally ran last year.) Her career in book publishing spanned over five decades. Among her many notable authors and publications, she was responsible for the publication of Erich Segal’s Love Story and Nancy Milford’s biography Zelda and she edited Herman Wouk’s work from the 1970s until his death in 2019.
