Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Agnes Chu is out at Condé Nast Entertainment, a little more than three years after the former Disney exec joined the media and publishing company.
Chu had joined Condé Nast in September 2020 after 12 years at the Walt Disney Co., most recently as senior VP of content for Disney+.
In an internal memo, Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch announced that Chu will be leaving the company at the end of October as the result of a restructuring of its senior leadership team.
Chu was instrumental in “building up our film, television and entertainment business with over 70 projects in development and ten projects in production” as well as in helping Condé Nast’s digital video reach a projected 20 billion annual video views, according to Lynch’s memo. “[S]he has been a valued member of our leadership team these last three years,” he wrote. “Please join me in wishing her all the very best.” According to Lynch, Chu’s role is being eliminated as Condé Nast is implementing a new structure for the company’s top-line leadership across editorial content, audience development, branded content and video.
