Ken Brooks: 2010 Publishing Executive Hall of Fame Inductee

As you might expect, for someone so focused on technology and change, Brooks views the current digital transformations in the book publishing industry as very much a positive. "It's a huge opportunity. It's not a great opportunity if you just want to do the same thing for the rest of your career. You have to actually get energy from wanting to adapt and drive change," he says. "It's either be part of the steamroller or part of the road, and I think it's a huge opportunity to really be making the future rather than being a victim of the future." BB
