Bernd Leukert
has joined
the supervisory board of Bertelsmann. He is the executive board member at SAP

professional expertise, especially in the areas of innovation management,
artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. As a member of the

Francis Greenburger
tells
his "How I Got Started" narrative in Fortune. His real estate company
has assets valued at $4 billion, but he started working for his father
Sanford's literary agency: "At 14, I represented Bertelsmann, a German
book club, in buying American books to distribute in Germany. My dad wanted to
avoid a conflict with another German publishing house he represented, so he
told Bertelsmann I could help them. [He didn't mention I was 14.] I looked 18,
so people assumed I was older. I would buy hardcovers for 50¢—at the point when
they were being sold in paperback and nobody was buying them anymore in
hardcover—then sell them for $1.25."
Simon & Schuster is staging
a Book Club Matinee
at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York on March 11, featuring authors Anthony
Doerr, Isabel Allende, Lisa See, Lisa Genova, Ruth Ware and Megan Miranda.
