Time Inc. announced that Meredith Long will oversee sales, marketing and development of new growth opportunities and revenue streams, working closely with editor Nancy
Gibbs, on the three Time Inc. brands. Long will also work to accelerate revenue diversification and will oversee the company's Fortune events.
Her appointment is effective immediately. She will be relocating to New York from Los Angeles.
Evelyn Webster, EVP of Time Inc., wrote in a company memo that the previous publisher of Fortune and Money, Eric Danetz, is leaving the role to make room for Long, but “is considering positions inside and outside of Time Inc.,” according to Folio.

Long stated that she will work to “rethink and reimagine Time’s purpose and place” to reach “significant and lasting returns.” She was named publisher of Time in 2015, after group publisher Jed Hartman left that position to become chief revenue officer of The Washington Post.
She also launched Time’s in-house creative studio, Stitch, and led a revenue expansion of its “Time 100 Gala.”
Recently, Long was instrumental in launching Time Inc.’s new millennial women-focused site Motto in February.
Jorg Stratmann was also promoted Tuesday and will serve under Long as associate publisher.
Prior to serving as publisher, Long was previously Time executive director of the West Coast, and has held leadership positions in its Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco offices.
