The move is part of Condé Nast’s global organisational structure, introduced four years ago to unify editorial teams across all markets.
Each region now has its own head of editorial content under a centralised leadership model.
The new U.S. appointment will join existing regional editorial heads in Japan, China, India, Taiwan, the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Middle East.
Since the restructure, Anna has taken on a global role overseeing content across all Condé Nast brands.
