Rachel Goldstein has been promoted to executive v-p at Penguin Random House Publisher Services, the publisher's distribution arm, which services more than 50 publishers.
In her new position, Goldstein will assume overall day-to-day management and strategic development of PRHPS, and will report to Jeff Abraham. Reporting to Goldstein are Chuck Errig, v-p and executive director of client sales and strategy, and Scott Gould, director of business development.
Goldstein's promotion comes on the heels of Abraham's own, to president of publishing operations, technology, and services at Penguin Random House, during February's corporatewide reorganization of the publisher's U.S. division. In a letter to PRHPS staff, Abraham noted that his "oversight for PRHPS remains a key aspect of my purview." Abraham has led PRHPS since 2014.
"Rachel’s unique ability to problem-solve through a simultaneously strategic, financial, and operational lens—particularly useful perspectives and expertise given the current market conditions—coupled with my recent additional responsibilities for Penguin Random House—makes now the perfect time for her to assume a broader leadership role," Abraham wrote in his letter to PRHPS staff.
