Marden added: “I am excited to take on this new role and lead the team into this next decade of growth where there is endless opportunity for the brand.”Fortune’s editor is departingCliff Leaf is stepping down as editor in chief of Fortune, a role he has held since 2017. Among the many changes, executive editor Kelly Conniff becomes senior executive editor, adding the magazine to her portfolio and leading the team of editors that oversee all of its platforms.

In this newly created role specifically curated with Palmer, she will creatively consult across Unbothered, supporting and co-developing new projects that push conversations and Black culture forward, according to a company release. The latest to do so are 300 staffers at Insider , who are forming a union with The NewsGuild of New York.
“I continue to be inspired by the ongoing commitment of media workers to address the deep challenges of our industry in their workplaces,” said Susan DeCarava, president of The NewsGuild of New York. “As the editorial workers at Insider declared this morning, they organized with the NYGuild to strengthen their newsroom and create an inclusive, safe, and collaborative professional workplace. Today, we all stand proudly and in solidarity with Insider Union.
