After heading up the Bauer Media Hearst Australia brands ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan as general manager for the past two years, Marina Go is set to depart the publishing house at the end of the month.
Go will be taking up a board position with prestige automotive retailer Autosports Group ahead of its initial public offering next month, as well as continuing in her existing role as chair of West Tigers.
“I have wanted to transition from an executive to non-executive role for some time now and the opportunity with the Autosports Group was one that was too good to pass up. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the past two years at Bauer and while I’m sad to be leaving such talented colleagues and incredible brands, I know they will continue to thrive under Nick’s leadership. I wish them all every success,” says Go.
Bauer Media CEO Nick Chan adds: “Marina has been instrumental in driving innovation across some of our leading women’s, fashion and beauty titles and has built them into true multi-platform brands. I want to thank her and wish her all the very best as she moves into an exciting new period of her career.”
An announcement about her replacement will be made in due course.
