Jackie Frank has officially resigned from her role of general manager: fashion, beauty and health at Pacific Magazines.
Frank has been in her current position for the past two years but has been with the publisher for 23 in a number of different roles. She oversaw marie claire Australia, InStyle, Women's Health and Men's Health, as well as Pacific's custom publishing arm Pac+. She was the inaugural Editor of marie claire from 1995 to 2004 and was inducted into the Australian Magazines Awards' Hall of Fame in 2014.
Seven West Media CEO Tim Worner said in statement: “Jackie is regarded both within Pacific and among industry peers as one of Australia’s most successful and respected publishing executives.
“She is known for her intrinsic understanding of the consumer, her passion to drive brand innovation, her ability to create extraordinary content and for leading teams to their full potential, especially in a time of great transition."
On her departure, Frank called out her proudest achievements including championing women's issues while helming marie claire. Some of these included gender equality, paid maternity leave, domestic violence and depression.
“Over the last four years as an executive in charge of the fashion, beauty, health and custom group, we’ve rolled out many exciting digital platforms, as well as successful content and brand initiatives across the portfolio," she said.
“My passion for creating engaging content and working to build strong brands remains undiminished after two decades. I’ve worked alongside many talented people at Pacific who have taken on new challenges outside the organisation, and now it’s time for me to do the same.”
