Penguin Random House Consolidates Adult Publishing Imprints, Appoints Madeline McIntosh to Lead
Also newly reporting to Madeline are Paul Buckley, Leigh Butler, Jacqueline Fischetti, Richard Hasselberger, Casey Blue James, Dennis Lee, Catharine Lynch, Pat Lyons, Lily Rudd, and Kristin Spang.
I am very sorry to tell you that as the result of this change Susan Petersen Kennedy, President, Penguin Group U.S., who most recently has led the Penguin Adult hardcover and trade imprints, will be leaving the company at the end of the year. Susan's contributions to Random House, Penguin and now Penguin Random House during her 35 years of service to the company have been extraordinary. Please read the accompanying memo in which we celebrate and honor her career with us. In particular, I want to thank her for the productive approach she has brought to our collaboration since the merger. Her insights and guidance related to the integration, and her passion for Penguin's unique culture, have been extremely valuable to our newly formed company and to me.
