Ian Ballantine, Penguin USA (1939)
(quote) It was Frost who in 1945 was entrusted with the reconstruction of Penguin Inc after the departure of its first managing director Ian Ballantine.[13]

If Ian Ballantine was the first managing director that needs explanation. The Ballantines established Penguin USA in 1939. --with her father's $500 wedding gift, Betty Ballantine recalls(2002-11) --as an export division, Frederik Pohl recalls(2011-03) and that fits Betty's recollection.
