Agnes Chu is stepping down as president of Condé Nast Entertainment as part of a restructuring.  

Chu’s departure, expected to be at the end of the month, was announced in a memo to staff on Tuesday by Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch.

Before the end of the year, “the members of our top-line leadership across editorial content, audience development, branded content and video will move into a new structure,” Lynch said. “This will allow our editorial talent to work across all mediums as true digital content experts, enabling these leaders to tell stories and elevate our journalism across all platforms directly."

The new step will “affirm the position of these teams at the center of the company,” Lynch added. 

Assessing her three-year tenure, Chu wrote that the company has seen numerous creative successes. For instance,“The New Yorker logo now graces the silver screen with 7 Academy Award nominations and counting." 

She continued, "Along with Vanity Fair Studios’ Secrets of Hillsong on FX/Hulu and premieres of The New Yorker Studios’ Cat Person, Vogue Studios’ LEE, Invisible Beauty and John Galliano: High and Low in the past year alone, we have 8 film and television projects in active production across our iconic brands.”
