It's hard to believe there is more news coming from the Mamamia camp after a huge year of announcements, but the site has one more item to finish off the year - editor-in-chief Jamilia Rizvi is stepping back from executive management.
January 4, 2016 will see Rizvi bow out from the editor-in-chief position to take on the new role of editor-at-large, where she will contribute to Mamamia Women's Network as a writer, podcast host, and spokeswoman.
The decision came on the back of Rizvi's desire to spend more time with her new family. On top of her commitments to Mamamia, Rizvi will also be working on a book as well as delivering various freelance articles.
"A couple of weeks ago, Jam decided to step down from her role as editor-in-chief at the Mamamia Women’s Network. The time she wants to spend with her new baby right now just isn’t compatible with the time this job demands of her as a senior manager. It’s a big job. It touches every part of the business, it’s hard to do part-time and she just doesn’t want to be in an office four days a week," explains Mamamia founder Mia Freedman.
"She’s not stepping away from work altogether. She’s still going to be contributing in a creative sense to Mamamia as editor-at-large and getting stuck into some projects of her own, including a book I can’t wait to read. But she’s stepping away from management. Her career trajectory has changed."
