The business area comprises Bonnier&#8217;s entire book business and is the leading book publishing group in Northern Europe.<\/h2>\n<p>H\u00e5kan Rudels started at <a title=\"Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bonnierforlagen.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen<\/a> in 2005, where he served as head of marketing for Albert Bonniers F\u00f6rlag and then for the entire Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen publishing house before becoming CEO in 2014. As he now takes on the role as head of Bonnier Books, he will remain CEO of Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen, where CFO Sara B\u00f6rsvik will take on the additional role of chief operating officer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Swedish book operations, the Bonnier Books business area includes publishing houses in Germany, the U.K., Finland, Norway and Poland as well as digital and physical book sales. The business area has 2,500 employees and sales of SEK 7.7 billion in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Tomas Franz\u00e9n, CEO Bonnier AB, says: &#8220;H\u00e5kan Rudels has proven himself in a number of roles at Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen, which has shown strong development both financially as well as in publishing during his years as CEO. With his significant industry expertise, I am convinced that H\u00e5kan is the right person to lead this business area. We have high ambitions for continued development and growth in our book publishing operations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Says Rudels: &#8220;In my opinion, this is the most interesting job in the publishing world. Becoming responsible for Bonnier&#8217;s collective book publishing business, with its 200 years of tradition of constant renewal and innovation, feels magical. The most important thing for us is to remain relevant to our writers, readers, co-workers and owners in times of a dizzying array of media available and changed consumption patterns. As one of Europe&#8217;s leading publishing houses, our focus is to publish the best stories and to build modern, values-driven organizations. And of course, to ultimately have significantly higher revenues than costs, it&#8217;s neither easier nor more difficult than that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Rudels succeeds Jacob Dalborg, whose departure was announced in October.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H\u00e5kan Rudels Named New Business Area Head for Bonnier Books Bonnierf\u00f6rlagen\u2019s CEO H\u00e5kan Rudels has been appointed new head for Bonnier\u2019s business area Books.
