What Happens to Fairchild?

Every first Monday after New Year’s Day, a press release comes from on high, from the office of S.I. Newhouse himself.  He doesn’t live in the North Pole, but he does tell you who has been naughty, and who has been nice, and then sprinkles presents and coal down on his Conde Nasties (as Keith Kelly, media reporter for the NY Post calls them).  This year, nine top executives at the company became three, as Mitch Fox, Sandy Golinkin and Amy Churgin all left the company.  Promotions (or, sort of promotions) for six others.  This is just to catch you up.

What wasn’t discussed in the released was Dan Lagani.  Lagani is president of the Fairchild fashion group, which is home to, among others, Women’s Wear Daily, one of the biggest and best B2B media brands (and new to our min’s b2b Boxscores).   Talked to Lagani yesterday; turns out he’s going nowhere and will be reporting directly to Chuck Townsend; which means he’ll be working closely with John Bellando, COO of the company.
