Jonathan Karp stepped down as Simon & Schuster’s CEO six months ago, with the plan to move into his new imprint, Simon Six. This opened up the role, and the Simon & Schusters Board of Directors finally agreed on the man to take over.
After all, he worked at Amazon for almost 20 years, holding numerous leadership roles. He helped with the launching of the self-publishing platform and the print-on-demand service, both of which remain popular with users to this day. He also helped to expand the audiobook across the globe.
That being said, Greeley hasn’t been with Amazon since2018. He became president of Airbnb’s Homes business. That hasn’t stopped his love of books, and Simon & Schuster clearly see something in him.
Jonathan Karp Will Continue Working With Simon & Schuster
While he announced he was stepping down six months ago to handle Simon Six, he remained in the position until the company could find someone to replace him. He’s said to be more than thrilled with the decision to bring Greeley on.
There are set to be more changes coming, though, as KKR, which bought Simon & Schuster in 2023, is reportedly looking to sell. For now, KKR is said to be investing in long-term and international growth.
