Rachel Cass will become general manager of Harvard Book Store, Cambridge, Mass., effective May 1. Cass succeeds Alex Meriwether, who is moving into a new role as chief creative officer. Brad Lennon will replace Cass as buying & inventory manager.
Cass joined Harvard Book Store in 2006, serving in a variety of positions over the years, including bookseller, marketing & events manager, head buyer and, for the past four years, buying & inventory manager.
As CCO, Meriwether will oversee upcoming renovation projects at the bookstore and an update of its website at harvard.com, as well as future projects to enhance the bookstore's presence in Greater Boston's literary landscape. He joined Harvard Book Store in 2004 and served as marketing & events manager from 2013 to 2018 before becoming general manager.
Lennon, who has worked at Harvard Book Store since 2009, has been the assistant manager since 2011. He previously held roles in the customer orders office and the print-on-demand department, and before his time at Harvard Book Store worked at BookHampton in East Hampton, N.Y.
"Given the length and breadth of their experience, Rachel, Alex, and Brad are ideal choices for their new positions," said co-owner Jeff Mayersohn. "These organizational changes strengthen the store enormously as we strive to better serve the reading and writing communities of Greater Boston."
