- Troy Reeb (pictured) has stepped down as co-CEO of Corus, leaving John Gossling to head up the beleaguered Canadian media company on his own. Reeb and Gossling (who is also CFO) were promoted into the joint leadership role in June 2024. According to a release, Reeb is leaving to pursue other opportunities. In its latest financial quarter, Corus reported a US$39-million loss, and revenue was down by 10% from Q2 2024.
- Scholastic has reorganized its trade publishing, book fairs and book clubs divisions into one combined unit called the Children’s Book Group, tapping Sasha Quinton to run the show as EVP and president. Quinton joined the publishing company five years ago and was working as president of school reading events before this promotion, helping to drive “record revenue per fair,” according to Scholastic. She now reports to president and CEO Peter Warwick and will work closely with chief strategy officer and Scholastic Entertainment president IoIe Lucchese to build connections between the publisher’s editorial, distribution and merchandising businesses. Scholastic has also hired Barnes and Noble and Disney Book Group veteran Jackie De Leo to serve as the publisher and chief merchant of its newest division. Reporting to Quinton, her duties include publishing new books and growing the reach of Scholastic’s IPs.
