Grisebach Named Thames & Hudson CEO

Rolf Grisebach has been hired for the newly created role of CEO at Thames & Hudson, the Bookseller reported. Grisebach, who begins at T&H in September, previously ran Pearson's operations in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Prior to that, he headed Macmillan's education and STM division in the U.S. 

The appointment of Grisebach comes as Jamie Camplin, the publisher's managing director, is retiring. Chairman Thomas Neurath and deputy chairman Constance Kaine are also stepping down from their posts, the Bookseller wrote. Tim Evans, former sales and marketing director, will become chairman; Susanna Reisz Neurath, who led T&H's foreign rights department in the 1990s, will be deputy chairman.
