McMenemy Exits Egmont Publishing

Rob McMenemy has stepped down as chief executive officer of Egmont Publishing.

Following the implementation of Egmont’s new global strategy and the formation of two new global units in 2015–global licensing management and global content development–McMenemy has decided to leave the publisher, according to the company.

“Having seen through the development of the kid’s business into a more global publishing operation, the time is right to move on,” says McMenemy. “After 22 very happy years with Egmont this was not an easy decision to make, but it is time for another challenge.”
