'Lucky' Announces Realignment, Names GM

Gillian Gorman Round Named 'Lucky' G.M. in a Realignment to More e-Commerce:
On Wednesday (Jan. 16), Condé Nast president (since July 2010) Bob Sauerberg announced a restructuring of the 12-year-old Lucky. What originally was a monthly for women's "brick and mortar" shopping is being expanded with a greater emphasis on e-commerce, which is getting a new platform.
The print edition and website (luckymag.com) are continuing.
The architect is Gillian Gorman Round (pictured), who moves from CN senior VP/brand development (a corporate job) to the new position of Lucky general manager. Round being in charge of all Lucky's business and editorial functions means that editor-in-chief (since Sept. 2010) Brandon Holley is reporting to her.
