  • “TL;DR: Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch is leaving after seven and a half years to become Mattel's CEO, with board director Mike Perlis taking over as interim CEO. In a staff memo viewed by Business Insider, James Faris and Lucia Moses report that Lynch said Condé Nast's commerce revenue rose 170%, digital subscriptions grew 155%, and US tentpole events increased ninefold since 2020.”
