Condé Nast, a powerhouse in the fashion media industry, has made significant strides in bolstering its global leadership team by welcoming Mike Goss as chief financial officer and Deirdre Findlay as chief marketing officer. The announcement of these key appointments was made on December 12, with Goss and Findlay slated to officially begin their roles in January 2020.
In his capacity as the new chief financial officer, Mike Goss will be responsible for overseeing Condé Nast’s financial operations on a worldwide scale. This wide-ranging portfolio includes spearheading business development initiatives, cultivating strategic partnerships, and managing corporate strategy, as well as overseeing legal and content rights management. With a distinguished career that includes pivotal roles at Sotheby’s and Bain Capital, Goss brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of fostering financial growth, as evidenced by his successful tenure at Bain Capital where he oversaw substantial expansion in assets under management.
Meanwhile, Deirdre Findlay assumes the mantle of chief marketing officer, where her primary focus will be leading all consumer marketing endeavors for the company. Findlay’s core objective will be to craft and execute a data-driven digital strategy aimed at boosting direct-to-consumer revenue. Drawing from her background at prominent companies like Stitch Fix and Google, Findlay’s expertise positions her as a crucial asset in navigating the dynamic landscape of consumer marketing.
These strategic appointments are part of a broader wave of transformation within Condé Nast, following the installment of Roger Lynch as the organization’s inaugural global CEO in April. With iconic figure Anna Wintour taking on a fresh role overseeing Vogue International under Lynch’s stewardship, Condé Nast reaffirms its commitment to charting new territories in the realm of global content opportunities.
With the addition of Goss and Findlay to its team, Condé Nast is gearing up to build upon its distinguished legacy in the fashion media realm, propelling advancements and triumphs in the foreseeable future.
