Design wunderkind Scott Dadich, whose low-budget side project for Wired’s digital edition ended up becoming the template for all of Condé Nast’s tablet strategy, is returning to the magazine as its editor in chief, the company announced today. Dadich served as creative director of Wired from 2006 to 2010, where he notably led the magazine to three consecutive National Magazine Awards for design. After developing Wired’s widely praised iPad edition, he was tapped in 2010 for the larger corporate role of vice president of editorial platforms and design. It's easy to see why Dadich was a favorite to head Wired. He already knows the brand and the company, and there's less urgency for someone in his recent position, now that the company's tablet strategy is up and running. The stylish, sideburned Dadich also has a wonky side that fits with Wired, having studied engineering at Texas Tech University. It remains to be seen how his design esthetic will translate to the editor's role at Wired, where he was known for his exacting standards, often sending work back multiple times for revisions, and raising the dress bar by wearing suits in the otherwise laid-back San Francisco office. Dadich’s digital chops figured big in his appointment, which was announced in an email by Condé Nast CEO Chuck Townsend. Company president Bob Sauerberg happened to be in San Francisco, where Wired has its editorial base, and was on hand for the announcement, as was Wired vp and publisher Howard...
