Condé Nast's Bright Named Chief Administrative Officer

Condé Nast continues to reorganize, moving its longtime, powerful HR chief into a new role that will include oversight for PR.
 
Jill Bright, Condé Nast’s head of HR since 1996, was named chief administrative officer, CEO Chuck Townsend and recently named president Bob Sauerberg announced in an internal memo to employees Oct. 6.
 
Condé Nast has made a number of high-level changes in the past few months as it tries to shift to a more consumer revenue-driven business following a grueling ad recession, and the Bright move was perceived by insiders as part of a continued beefing up of the corporate side.
