Anna Currence was CEO of Kitchen Bazaar from 1993 to 1995,[1] before she was recruited to the President and COO spot at ailing Crown Books in 1997.[2] She assumed Crown's CEO position on January 12, 1998.[1][3] She was instrumental in the bankruptcy-emergence of the book retailer, though she left Crown in October 1998, just 1 month before it emerged from Chapter 11. After Crown Books, Ms Currence became an executive recruiter with Chicago-based Brooke Chase Associates Inc.[4]
Previous to her executive positions, Currence worked for Barnes & Noble from 1973 to 1990, playing an instrumental role in their move from small-format stores to the superstore concept.[1]
