Former Time Inc Editor in Chief Martha Nelson Lands Job at Yahoo! With Same Title But With "Global" in Front of It

Martha Nelson exited Time Inc two years ago and was replaced by Norm Pearlstine who she allegedly laughed at when she was told CEO Joe Ripp was bringing him back as Chief Content Officer. Now Ms. Nelson is ready to take on the world again, but on a bigger more powerful stage. Ms. Nelson has joined Yahoo! as its Global Editor in Chief and will answer to marketing/media chief Kathy Savitt.

As an accomplished editor, proven brand innovator and media veteran, Martha adds to Yahoo’s established media business to continue to elevate our world-class products and journalism,” Savitt wrote in a blog post. “With her proven track record of building successful brands as the founding editor of InStyle and for the growth of People (and People.com) into a globally recognized brand, I’m excited to work with Martha to further grow our Digital Magazines.
