After working in traditional publishing for over ten years, Oliver Rhodes founded ground-breaking digital publisher Bookouture in 2012. One of the most successful publishing start-ups of the decade, Bookouture was acquired by Hachette in 2017 and has sold over 50 million copies. After becoming part of Hachette, Oliver continued as Bookouture CEO, became Digital Publishing Director of Hachette UK and serving on the company’s board for three years. Always looking ten years ahead, Oliver is fascinated by the potential of maximising human ingenuity and creativity with the support of technology. He couldn’t resist the chance to reimagine what publishing could look like in the years to come and with that, Storm Publishing was born.
