Carrie Bloxson has been promoted to the newly created position of senior v-p, culture and diversity, equity, and inclusion at Hachette Book Group and Hachette UK. She joined Hachette Book Group in 2021 as v-p, diversity and inclusion. Earlier, she was v-p of marketing at HarperCollins and has more than 20 years of experience as a marketing strategist.
David Shelley, CEO of Hachette Book Group and Hachette UK, said: "Carrie's leadership in DEI is unparalleled, and her strategic vision and empathy have made an enormous impact at Hachette Book Group. Over the past three years, she has spearheaded remarkable progress, fostering an environment of trust and engagement across our company. Her expanded role reflects our commitment to leveraging expertise and best practices between the U.S. and U.K. and advancing our Changing the Story pillar, the aim of which is for our publishing and our organization to mirror the diversity of the readers we serve. At a time when DEI efforts are receding in many industries, Carrie's elevation underscores our unwavering dedication to this work."
Bloxson called her new role "a testament to HBG and Hachette UK's dedication to making DEI a central pillar of our corporate ethos. Since joining HBG, I have been continually inspired by the commitment of our teams to embrace and champion DEI values, and I am excited to further this journey across our U.K. and U.S. organization, reinforcing our mission to Changing the Story and amplifying voices that need to be heard. I am committed to positive change that not only enhances our workplace but also enriches the literary landscape with diverse voices and perspectives."
