Named interim CEO of Harper UK two weeks ago following the abrupt and unexplained disappearance of Charlie Redmayne, Kate Elton has now been confirmed as CEO of the division going forward.
Harper CEO Brian Murray says in the announcement: “I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kate on our global publishing projects and have seen personally her thoughtful approach and steady hand. Under her leadership, the UK Adult Commercial divisions have achieved tremendous success, transforming Harper Fiction into a powerhouse of bestsellers and driving significant revenue growth. A passionate advocate for our authors and books, Kate combines exceptional business acumen with the ability to build collaborative teams, while consistently driving innovation through digital, audio, and publishing initiatives. I look forward to working with her in her new role and congratulate her on this achievement.”
