Simon & Schuster CEO Seeks to Master Data

“We’re actively trying to grow” internationally, said Carolyn Reidy, CEO of Simon & Schuster, as the 2015 Frankfurt Book Fair kicked off on Wednesday. “Particularly with the increase in digital, there are lots of new players, people to talk to, business to do.”

Reidy is constantly looking for the next opportunity, whether that’s the “old-fashioned selling of our physical books all around the world,” acquiring more rights to boost international sales of English titles, or “the new players who come up with the new business ideas.”
