People 6/15

June 15, 2023
By Erin Somers

Hachette Book Group   

Longtime sales executive Chris Murphy, SVP, director of retail sales, will take advantage of the Voluntary Resignation Benefits program, leaving the company on June 30. Group sales director Alison Lazarus writes, “He is respected and beloved as a manager and is always thinking about what is best for the company, our authors, and his staff. He somehow manages to maintain a sense of humor, even on the most challenging days and with the most challenging accounts. Chris will pitch in or take on a project no matter what else is on his plate. And as a colleague I can always count on him for his (unvarnished) honesty and 100% commitment.”
