Condé's Advance Publications Opens Corporate Development SVP Role for Andrew Siegel
After stints at GE and Yahoo! Andrew Siegel will be joining Advance Publications’s mergers and acquisitions department as the new SVP of corporate development. WWD’s John Koblin reports that Advance welcomed Siegel on the same day Discovery Communications bought back $500 million worth of stock from them. Siegel will have plenty of funds to play with and, according to advance.net chairmen Steven Newhouse, will be tasked with advancing the publisher’s digital strategy:
