Purple Helm Publishing

About the press

Purple Helm


Purple Helm is an independent press in the United States, founded in 2026. We publish practical books on leadership and change, for readers who have to act on what they read.

A helm is where a vessel is steered from. Our books are written for the people at the helm of an organization at a moment of change, and each one comes with what a reader needs to put it to work: tools to use, and programs that bring the ideas into the room.

Our first title is The Rocket Car Problem by Padmaja Hari.
