Bonnier Books UK has today announced that Richard Charkin and Greg Evaristo are stepping back from the board as non-executive directors. Both joined the board in 2020 to support the business through a period of sustained growth and transformation, with Richard bringing a wealth of experience from the publishing industry, and Greg invaluable expertise across the organisation’s people strategy and Inclusion & Representation policies.
Chair Jim Zetterlund said: ‘We want to thank our brilliant non-executive directors for their contributions over the last three years, as we weathered the challenges of being a rapidly growing business amidst a global pandemic. Bonnier Books UK has gone from strength to strength with their support and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Richard and Greg in different ways in the future.’
Richard Charkin said: ‘Working with Bonnier colleagues both in London and Stockholm has been a privilege. A strong executive team married to a powerful set of values sets Bonnier apart and has led to sustainable growth and a clear strategy. I look forward to continuing our relationship in other less formal ways.’
Greg Evaristo said: ‘It’s been a real privilege to serve on the Bonnier Books UK board as a non-executive director. During this time I was able to witness my highly impressive board colleagues performing at the very highest level. I’d like to sincerely thank Perminder, Jim, Håkan, Albert and Jon for all their warm support. Over the next year I’m looking forward to continuing working with the senior leadership team on ongoing projects.’
