Grand Central Publishing executive editor Rick Wolff has been given a new job as publisher and editor-in-chief of the Business Plus imprint, while retaining his current position within GCP along with its attendant responsibilities; “Rick will need several business cards to contain all these titles,” Grand Central publisher Jamie Raab jokes in her internal memo announcing the promotion, “but with [his] wide-ranging interests and editorial strengths, these titles fit the bill.” Wolff’s portfolio of business authors includes CEOs Jack Welch and Ted Turner, financial advisor Robert Kiyosaki, and No Asshole Rule lay-downer Robert Sutton.
In other revolving door news, Beaufort Books—which vaulted into the publishing spotlight after the success of If I Did It—has announced that it’s promoting Erin Smith to the position of marketing and publicity manager. Smith joined Beaufort in 2007 after working in the sales and marketing departments at Midpoint Trade Books.
