Publisher, producer and talk show host Judith Regan has been named CEO of a new venture with Phaidon that will include a publishing imprint and multimedia enterprise to be called Regan Arts.
Regan said she is "thrilled to partner with Phaidon" and "grateful to have the opportunity to work with such a gifted and dedicated team."
Phaidon owners Leon and Debra Black said they "are confident the great energy, enthusiasm and skill Judith brings to this new collaboration will yield a powerful influence on the industry."
In 2006, Regan was abruptly fired by HarperCollins and her successful, if controversial, Regan Books imprint was disbanded shortly thereafter.
