Carrie Bloxson has been named chief human resources officer at Hachette Book Group. In this new role, Bloxson will lead and amplify talent development, recruitment, retention, training, office culture, business processes, and more, while continuing to oversee one of Hachette's touchstone business pillars, Changing the Story, while proactively strengthening the company's mission to make it easy for everyone to discover new worlds of ideas, learning, entertainment, and opportunity. Andrea Weinzimer, currently senior v-p, human resources, is leaving the company at the end of the year.
In April, Bloxson was promoted to senior v-p of culture and diversity, equity, and inclusion, supporting both the U.S. and U.K. offices of Hachette. Before that, she was HBG's inaugural chief diversity officer.
David Shelley, CEO of Hachette Book Group and Hachette UK, said, "Carrie Bloxson is one of the superstars of our industry. She has made an enormous impact in the last three years at Hachette Book Group, particularly in advancing our DEI initiatives, and in her new role will be even more instrumental in evolving our culture and in helping us achieve our mission as a company."
