Overview

  • Condé Nast has officially opened a search for a “head of editorial content” to take over the daily editorial management of American Vogue, effectively supplanting the editor-in-chief title.
  • Anna Wintour, after a 37-year tenure, has stepped back from U.S. Vogue’s day-to-day duties to focus on her positions as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
  • The restructuring aligns American Vogue’s leadership with other international editions, placing market-specific editorial heads under a centralized global director.
  • Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch said this shift will allow Wintour to devote more time to mentoring emerging editors and guiding the company’s worldwide titles.
  • In her expanded global roles, Wintour will continue to shape editorial strategy across Condé Nast’s portfolio, maintaining oversight of marquee events and brand initiatives.
