Magazine publisher Condé Nast announced this week that former
president and CEO of Pandora Radio , Roger Lynch, would be stepping
into the role of global CEO, effective April 22.
The global CEO position has been newly created as a means to
streamline operations between Condé Nast US and Condé Nast
international. In his role, Lynch will lead global integration
initiatives.
Condé Nast had shared five months ago that its CEO of U.S.
operations, Bob Sauerberg, would step down from the role he had held
for three years. With its new appointment of Lynch, Sauerberg will
officially exit the organization. He had worked with Condé Nast for 18
years.
Additionally, Jonathan Newhouse will relinquish his position as CEO
of Condé Nast International and move into the role of chairman of the
board of directors. He had temporarily acted as CEO of international
operations following the news of Sauerberg’s departure.
“After conducting a thorough search for an executive to run the
combined Condé Nast US and Condé Nast International, we believe Roger
is the right person to lead Condé Nast during our new phase of global
integration, growth and transformation,” Newhouse said in a
statement.
