Effective September 15, Rick Wolff will become a senior executive editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, where he is launching a new line of business books that will publish approximately 10-15 titles per year.
"I have long wanted to expand our business publishing here at HMH, and Rick is the perfect person to lead that effort. His experience is unparalleled, and his track record speaks for itself," said Bruce Nichols, senior v-p and publisher of HMH's general interest group.
Prior to joining HMH, Wolff was founder, editor-in-chief and publisher of Warner Business books and then the Business Plus imprint at Grand Central. He acquired and edited more than 50 New York Times, Wall Street Journal or BusinessWeek bestselling business books by notable authors in the field, including Robert Kiyosaki, Hank Paulson, Jack Welch, Ted Turner, Mike Krzyzewski, Capt. Mike Abrashoff, Donald T. Phillips, Alexis Ohanian, Jeff Benedict, Dr. Robert Cialdini and Dr. Robert Sutton.
"I couldn't be more delighted to join HMH and to establish a first-rate business list here" said Wolff, "I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running and to start acquiring titles right away."
