Both moves are effective immediately. Since 2013, Young served as president of Hearst Magazines Digital Media where he was tasked with leading the brand’s digital operation.

Currently, Young also serves on the boards for the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Digital Content... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
