Condé Nast chief revenue officer Pamela Drucker Mann announced her departure from the media company this morning, according to an internal memo shared by the company.
Mann, who joined Condé Nast as the sales director for beauty at Jane magazine in 2005, has served as the media company’s chief revenue officer since 2019. She is the first woman to have held that role at Condé Nast.
She will remain with Condé Nast through the summer as she transitions out of the organization and has no immediate plans for her next move. The company will soon begin the search for her replacement.
“I couldn’t be more proud to have spent 19 years working with the best brands and the most talented people in the world,” Mann said in a statement.
“While I’m excited about what’s next, Condé is and will always be a part of me—it’s ingrained in my DNA, and I will always be here to support the company, its renowned brands and the incredibly talented global team, every step of the way,” she added.
Overseeing an era of change
During her tenure, Mann helped steer Condé Nast through an immense period of change in the media business. When she first joined the company, Instagram was five years from launching, few publishers had robust websites, and the specter of artificial intelligence remained the stuff of science fiction.
After starting at Jane, she went to Glamour and later Bon Appétit as publisher. She was appointed Condé Nast chief marketing and revenue officer in 2017, before assuming the sole role of CRO in 2019.
Together with CEO Roger Lynch, who joined Condé Nast in 2019, the two guided the business through a period of unprecedented tumult.
The company weathered a meltdown at Bon Appétit, a global pandemic, a sharp decline in social media traffic, a series of layoffs and, most recently, a protracted dispute with the labor union representing Condé Nast staff.
