Campaign Live: Duncan Edwards departs as Hearst International chief executive
Duncan Edwards, the chief executive of Hearst International, the publisher of Cosmopolitan, Elle, Harpers Bazaar and Good Housekeeping, is departing after 27 years.
The group did not immediately name a replacement, saying it plans to reorganise its global structure, and it was not clear if Edwards, who is aged 52, has planned a new role. He will remain an advisor until the end of the year and Hearst wished him “the very best in his next endeavour”.
