PK Sindwani, who has been the chief financial officer of the American Booksellers Association since 2019, is retiring in August 2025, according to Bookselling This Week.
ABA CEO Allison Hill said, "ABA has been so fortunate to have PK as our CFO. His combined experience as an accountant and as a bookseller has been invaluable to ABA and our members. And his contributions to ABA's culture; the diversity, equity and inclusion council; the ABA staff; ABA's education; and ABA's financial well-being have been significant and too many to count. We're excited for him about his next chapter, but he will be greatly missed here at ABA."
Sindwani said, "This opportunity at ABA was a perfect fit for me. After spending 29 years as a bookseller, I couldn't have asked for a better conclusion to my career. This position allowed me to continue working with the finest professionals in the world and still make a difference in the industry I love. I hope to continue this journey in some capacity. I believe in the mission of ABA and would love to help out in any way I can."
For nearly three decades, Sindwani, who holds an MBA from Texas Southern University, was the owner of Towne Book Center & Cafe in Collegeville, Pa. He has done many presentations about financial matters for other booksellers and served as treasurer of the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association. Before entering the book world, he was an accountant for 11 years.
