Audio Renaissance Adds Three to Staff

Mary Beth Roche, who took the helm as publisher of Audio Renaissance in November (News, Nov. 4, 2002), has put her new senior management team in place.

Margo Goody joins the company as senior designer. She was formerly a freelance designer for St. Martin's Press and Morgan Stanley and has also held positions at Harper Audio. Laura Wilson has been named production director, coming to Audio Renaissance from Random House Audio, where she worked with such authors as Pat Conroy and Robert Caro. And Jeanne-Marie Hudson will take on the position of marketing director. Hudson is currently the associate director for field sales at the AOL Time Warner Book Group and before that was senior sales and marketing manager for Time Warner AudioBooks. All three will report to Roche, who took over at Audio Renaissance following the decision by parent company Holtzbrinck to move the publisher from Los Angeles to New York.
