Paul Kelly has been named president, DK US, and will continue as DK's CFO and strategy director.
Carsten Coesfeld, who was appointed DK CEO in March 2020, said, "Our U.S. business is our biggest opportunity for growth and already we have seen a strong Q1 performance. Having worked closely with our talented team over the past few months, I am convinced that there is so much more we can achieve together. During the last year we have seen increased demand for our inspiring books and what we do is more relevant than ever because people need trusted sources to help them understand the world.
"Paul's wealth of experience, collaborative leadership and entrepreneurial spirit delivers results, and his position on the DK Board will ensure the U.S. is central to our future success."
Kelly said: "I am very excited to take up this new opportunity and work closer with our talented U.S. team. The U.S. market presents huge potential for DK and I am looking forward to accelerating our strategic plans to grow our sales and reach more readers."
