The

Director of New Product Development at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Magazines.
Since
joining the company nearly three years ago, Gill's successes have
included the launch of the women's lifestyle title eve magazine,
which she edited for 18 months until earlier this year.
Gill
was formerly Editorial Director at Dennis Publishing, where she
helped to revolutionise the lads' market as launch Editor of Maxim
and was instrumental in setting up its 1.5m-selling US version.
Her

is has got to be one of the greatest magazine jobs in the business.
Radio Times has the best listings in the world and we know more
about film and TV than anyone. My job now is make sure we showcase
those strengths for all they're worth. Expect a Radio Times that
will be as authoritative and comprehensive as ever but with a few
new things that will take many in the industry by surprise."
Ashley
Munday, Publishing Director, Radio Times, adds: "Gill is one
of the industry's best-known and most respected talents, and has
already had an exceptional editorial career. She has a passion for
magazines that is hard to resist and will now help to take Radio
Times to even greater success as we lead the way in the multi-channel
listings market."
