Condé Nast Searches for New CEO, Unites U.S. and International Units

Condé Nast is combining its U.S. and international units and will seek a new chief executive officer to run the global operation, replacing longtime chief Bob Sauerberg in a shake-up of one of the world’s biggest magazine publishers.

The New York-based publisher of the New Yorker, Vanity Fair and Vogue is increasingly branching into areas such as video, conferences and consumer products, making this the right time to merge the units, according to an emailed statement Tuesday.
