Nihar Malaviya Named CEO of PRH

Bertelsmann has announced that Nihar Malaviya is now officially the chief executive officer of Penguin Random House. Malaviya has been the interim CEO since January 1, 2023, following the departure of Markus Dohle in December 2022.

Malaviya was previously the president and COO of PRH. As interim CEO, he separated the Crown Publishing Group from the Random House Publishing Group and created a management group to oversee the US division of PRH following the departure of US division CEO Madeline McIntosh.

Bertelsmann chairman and CEO Thomas Rabe said,

[Malaviya] has set an important strategic course. Most importantly, he has transformed the structures at Penguin Random House so that the publishers and publishing groups can work more creatively and entrepreneurially.
