Philip Ruppel has been named CEO of Phaidon Press and its affiliated companies, the Monacelli Press and Artspace, succeeding Bob Miller, who is leaving and setting up his own book and creative development company (see following story). Ruppel has been chief operating officer at Phaidon since 2015. Before that he worked more than 20 years at McGraw-Hill, where he was president of McGraw-Hill Professional and McGraw-Hill International.
In his time at Phaidon, Ruppel has overseen finance, production, operations, and North American sales. In 2020, he led the acquisition of the Monacelli Press and served as its publisher. He also established strategic publishing partnerships with organizations such as the Leading Hotels of the World, Edward Jones, and Wrightwood 659.
Representing the Phaidon board, Debra Black said, "For more than a decade, Philip has been essential to the exciting growth of Phaidon, Monacelli, and Artspace. We are thrilled that he is stepping into this well-deserved leadership role and are confident he will guide the organization to even greater success."
About Miller, she said, "We are grateful to Bob for his contribution to Phaidon and wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
Ruppel commented: "I am honored to be trusted to lead such a venerable publishing house as Phaidon. I look forward to collaborating with our authors, partners, and dedicated employees to publish the extraordinary books and limited editions for which Phaidon is known."
