Executive Leadership

HMH's President and Chief Executive Officer is Linda K. Zecher. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is Lawrence K. Fish.

Our History

With roots dating back to 1832, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt was built by two recent, significant mergers: the 2006 acquisition of Houghton Mifflin? by K?12 educational software provider Riverdeep and the subsequent acquisition of the bulk of the U.S. education, library reference, and trade business of Harcourt? from Reed Elsevier in 2007.

Global Reach

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, HMH has over 3,300 employees based in 20 offices worldwide. HMH's educational solutions are used by more than 50 million students in all 50 states and 150 countries.

Primary Market Segments

Our leadership in education extends across the globe, providing transformational Pre-K?12 solutions that combine quality content, innovative technology, research-based assessments, professional development resources, and award-winning materials to educators around the world.

Our individualized digital learning solutions include a range of products and solutions all created with the goal of increasing student engagement and achievement.

Major partnerships with the world's leading technology providers, including Apple?, Samsung? and KnewtonTM, allow us to develop interactive, personalized content that meets our customers' needs wherever and however they learn.

At an enterprise level, we are turning around schools by partnering with administrators, teachers, parents, and students. We collaborate with these stakeholders to develop and deliver interactive, results-driven solutions that build an interactive network across the entire education community, empowering students of every learning style to explore their full academic potential. Our unique enterprise approach is especially effective at equipping parents with the necessary tools to support and motivate their children beyond the classroom and at helping low-performing schools reach and exceed their goals--ultimately driving the achievement of the student.

What We Believe

? We believe in a learning transformation--not just the digital transformation that must support it. The digital transformation in education must be about more than just one product or device. To make real progress, we must leverage the massive opportunity which digital offers to improve the teaching and learning process holistically.

? We believe early learning requires foundational focus and rigor, while supporting individual differences and aptitudes.

? We believe in the democratization of information, and we look to ensure all individuals have access to quality content.

? We believe the more we know about a learner, the better their learning experience can be. Content needs to adapt, in real time, depending on the needs of and degrees of relevance to the learner.

Creating this reality requires a true transformation of all those serving students and teachers, including HMH. Over the past 180 years, we have evolved to deliver high-quality content, meeting the needs of all customers. Our transformation continues today.
