Jo Henry to become BookBrunch m.d

Jo Henry is to join BookBrunch as managing director, working part-time alongside David Roche, who moves to non-executive chair.

Henry recently left Nielsen Book, where she had been v.p., insight & analytics, after 20 years at the firm. Prior to that she was managing director of both Publishing News and Book Marketing Ltd (BML), the latter being the precursor to Nielsen Book’s consumer insights division.

She said: "I'm really delighted to join the team at BookBrunch, particularly in light of my past experience running a magazine."

Roche commented: "Jo's knowledge of the publishing industry gained from her proven track record from right across publishing will be a wonderful addition to BookBrunch."
