Condé Nast braces for consolidations this week ahead of annual meetings

New York

IS THIS the week Condé Nast staffers have been dreading?

Higher-ups at the New York-based publisher are said to have earmarked this week for the long-rumoured consolidation of the business side of the company. Insiders pointed to three big meetings that will take place at the end of January as reason for the timing. Employees will gather on Jan 31 for an all-staff meeting, following which Condé Nast International executives will have their meeting at the New York headquarters. A business staff meeting led by chief business officer and president of revenue Jim Norton will come after that.
