PW: Golden Makes Staff Cuts

Among those let go by Golden were three executives whom the company had lured from other publishers: Margie Chan v-p, director of business development, who had worked at Children's Television Workshop; Kaylee Davis, v-p and director of marketing, who had been with Barnes &Noble; and Elizabeth Doyle, editorial director for Novelty Books, who came from Planet Dexter. Also departing Golden was Lisa Gubernick, v-p for corporate communications.

Commenting on the staff cuts, a Golden spokesperson said in a prepared statement that "for the past two years, Golden has been in a turnaround. We've moved our headquarters, stabilized our core businesses and are now shifting are attention to marketing. We made these small adjustments to staffing to further efficiencies." -Jim Milliot
