The appointment comes about a year after Smith’s departure from Hearst Magazines' Design Group amid a restructuring in early 2019. Smith had served as SVP and publishing director for the group—which includes House Beautiful, Veranda and Elle Décor—since 2012, and prior to that she had served as VP and publisher of House Beautiful since 2006. “Kate is an inspiring leader and has the skills, vision and experience to further expand the brand and continue the success of the unique platform we have built over the past 15 years,” said Adam Sandow in a statement. Additionally, Sandow announced that Luxe chief revenue officer Katie Brockman has been promoted to VP, corporate sales across the company. Also a Hearst Design Group alum, Brockman was associate publisher of Veranda for seven years before joining Sandow in 2017. Here are the rest of this week's people on the move...
