Essig Is Just Latest in String of Rodale Departures
'Men's Health' publisher is third higher-up to leave lately
Rodale is facing a real brain drain: Jack Essig, who defected for Hearst earlier this week, is just the latest top talent to leave the health and fitness publisher.
Essig was a rising star at Rodale, where he presided over the rapid growth of Men’s Health and spin-off Women’s Health. He quit to go to Hearst to lead Esquire and the magazine publisher's new Men’s Enthusiast Group.
In other recent departures, Bill Stump, a longtime Rodale editorial executive, stepped down in June after 13 years with the company.
