Elle Décor has promoted executive editor Michael Boodro to the post of chief editor, replacing Margaret Russell who was hired by rival home design magazine Architectural Digest this month.
Boodro rejoined Elle Décor as executive editor in 2009, after previously holding the post between 2004 and 2006. In the intervening period, he was chief editor at Martha Stewart Living.
Prior to that, he was launch editor for Culture & Travel, an editor of the Style Section for The New York Times Magazine, chief editor of Garden Design Magazine, and features editor for Vogue.
Boodro has also served in editorial roles at HG Magazine, Harper's Bazaar and GQ.
Vicky Lowry will now assume the executive editor post at Elle Décor, while Anita Sarsidi has been promoted to design director. Florentino Pamintuan has been made creative director at the title, owned by Hachette Filipacchi Media.
