Steven Riggio served as CEO of Barnes & Noble from 2002 to 2010, having previously worked alongside his brother Leonard Riggio to help transform the company into the nation's largest bookseller. During his tenure as CEO, he spearheaded the company's digital transformation through the launch of the NOOK e-reader and expansion of bn.com, while also strengthening the company's publishing arm through the acquisition of Sterling Publishing in 2003. Having started at Barnes & Noble in 1975, Riggio played an instrumental role in developing the book superstore model that would revolutionize book retail, helping to grow the business from a single store into America's dominant brick-and-mortar book retailer.
