Corinne Turner

As FourteenFiftyFour’s Strategic Director, Corinne guides the direction and development of its projects.

An accountant by training, Corinne has worked in the publishing and intellectual property world for far longer than she cares to admit. She brings considerable experience to 1454 from her role as Managing Director of Ian Fleming Publications Limited, the Fleming family company that owns and manages the literary IP in Ian Fleming’s novels, and her previous position as Chief Executive of Booker Entertainment, which owned literary estates, including Agatha Christie, Robert Bolt and Georgette Heyer, and live action and animated film production companies. She worked with children’s publisher, Walker Books, in its early days and started her media life in the exhibitions’ department of the Natural History Museum.
