Chantal Restivo-Alessi has been appointed chief digital officer at HarperCollins, replacing Charlie Redmayne, who left the company late last year to become CEO of Pottermore.
Restivo-Alessi will report to HarperCollins president and CEO Brian Murray, and sit on the company's executive committee. She joins the publisher from ING Bank in London, where she was head of media corporate finance. Leslie Hulse, senior v-p, digital business development, will report to her.
"I am excited to welcome Chantal to HarperCollins," said Murray. "Her extensive expertise in strategy development and execution, as well as change management in the media space, makes her a perfect fit for HarperCollins as we look to expand the strategic partnerships required to grow in the future."
