Ed Spade is stepping down from his position as president of sales at HarperCollins, effective August 15, after four years with the company. Doug Lockhart, senior v-p, sales and marketing, will oversee the sales department on an interim basis while the company searches for a successor.
Spade joined HarperCollins in 2021 as senior v-p, online sales, through the acquisition of HMH Books and Media. He "played a pivotal role in integrating our organizations and aligning efforts across divisions," the company said.
He was appointed president of sales in 2023, and "his strategic vision and warm leadership helped reshape our approach to sales, strengthened key account partnerships, and built data-led collaboration across teams," HarperCollins noted, adding that Spade "has deepened our expertise in the online marketplace, opened new channels in special markets, and realized efficiencies in our processes. Ed's passion for publishing and books--and his commitment to empowering teams--have made a lasting impact."
