Conde Nast’s global Chief Revenue Officer Pamela Drucker Mann announced a series of changes at the company yesterday in a memo to staff, including the departure of Chief Business Officer Chris Mitchell.

Mitchell, who has been with Conde Nast for nearly two decades, has been in his current role for over two years. Mitchell led the publishers culture-driven titles, such as Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Wired.

According to WWD, Mitchell will stay with the company through the end of the year.

Following Mitchell’s departure, Eric Gillin will take over his role. Gillin leads the publisher’s lifestyle division, overseeing Architectural Digest, Bon Appetit and Self.

Vanity Fair will be regrouped with Conde Nast’s luxury group, which includes Vogue and GQ. Susan Plagemann leads the luxury group and worked exclusively with Vogue for almost a decade.

Jen Mormile, Chief Industry Officer, will take over Gillin’s position at the lifestyle group, reports WWD.

According to Drucker Mann’s memo, Mormile “built our burgeoning health business from the ground up and then continued her success leading sales at the lifestyle division.”

The memo also outlined Chief Business Officer of Advertising Revenue Craig Kostlic’s additional role, as the publisher adds “direct leadership” of Conde Nast’s culture and lifestyle titles. He will continue in this role for digital teams, as well.

Taly Yaniv will work directly with finance and media strategy teams, adding the U.S. as head of global client services.

The changes follow the appointment of Roger Lynch to Conde Nast Global CEO in April. Lynch replaced CEO Bob Sauerberg.

In August, the company revealed a new global leadership structure, as the company works to combine its U.S. and global businesses.
