S&S president and CEO Jonathan Karp said, "Allen is an experienced manager with a keen financial mind and a collaborative spirit. As Simon & Schuster grows, Allen will work alongside executive vice president, chief operations officer Dennis Eulau and me to determine the best ways to invest in our company, control costs, and analyze acquisition prospects. We will benefit from his vast understanding of bookselling and the book business. I am confident that, as he has done for others, Allen will help Simon & Schuster become an even more valuable company."
