[caption id="attachment_144315" align="alignright" width="150"] Steve Grune[/caption] Meredith Corp.'s VP of brand licensing, Steve Grune, is stepping down after 18 months in that role and eight years with the company overall. He'll be succeeded by Toye Cody and Sondra Newkirk, who have each been promoted to VP from executive directors in the brand licensing division. Cody and Newkirk will split duties, with Cody continuing to lead the Walmart account, serving Walmart.com and 4,000 stores with Better Homes & Gardens-branded products. Overseeing all other brand licensing business, Newkirk will manage roughly 35 partnerships across 11 Meredith brands. Grune was first at Meredith from 1999 to 2000, when he was publisher of Midwest Living, before spending nine years at Hearst Magazines as VP and publisher of Country Living.
