At Penguin Random House, Nina von Moltke has been promoted to the newly created position of executive v-p, director, publishing development and author platforms as part of what the publisher said is part of its efforts to increase support of its authors.

Von Moltke, who was previously senior v-p, director, digital publishing development, will continue to report to PRH CEO Markus Dohle, who made the announcement. In her new role, von Moltke will, according to a Dohle memo, "explore additional innovative publishing- and author-focused business ideas in close cooperation with the publishing teams and territories."

Newly reporting to von Moltke will be Peter Gethers, president, Penguin Random House Studio, and John Schline, senior v-p, corporate director, business affairs.
