As the title’s business model evolved, I made clear to Anna and leadership at Conde that this was the right moment to leave and pursue new projects. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while and with changes to our global operations now is the time. I’m enormously proud of what we built together and the amazing people that make up the Glamour teams around the world. We took the brand to new digital heights, diversified our audience and revenue, and launched campaigns that genuinely moved the needle for women. Working alongside Anna Wintour, who championed me at every turn, has been one of my great professional privileges. Storytelling has always been at the heart of my career and ambitions, and I’m excited by what comes next.'
