Pottermore CEO Susan Jurevics will leave her position at the end of February. The Bookseller reported that J.K. Rowling's company will not appoint a new CEO and overall control of the business will remain with her agent and chairman Neil Blair. "Increased responsibility will be given to the remaining management team," including e-commerce director Verity Batchelder, publishing director Gillian Laskier and digital director Henriette Stuart-Reckling.
Blair commented: "After three years as chief executive, Susan leaves the business in incredible shape. Under her leadership, we're proud of what Pottermore has achieved in recent years. Her commitment, creativity and dedication to the business have been fantastic and we are all immensely grateful for everything that she has done and achieved. We wish her well for the future."
Jurevics said that because she "accomplished what I set out to do when I joined Pottermore in 2013, now is a great time for me to explore the next chapter in my career."
