There’s a shakeup at Condé Nast Entertainment.
Agnes Chu, who was President of the nascent division of the publishing company, is exiting as part of a restructure. The news was revealed this morning in a memo from Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch.
Lynch said that it is moving its editorial teams into a new structure. “As part of these changes Agnes Chu will be leaving the company at the end of this month and I want to thank her for her many accomplishments with us. From building up our film, television and entertainment business with over 70 projects in development and ten projects in production, to helping grow our digital video audience to a projected 20B annual video views, she has been a valued member of our leadership team these last three years,” he wrote.
Condé Nast Entertainment has been involved in projects such as FX/Hulu’s Secrets of Hillsong, in partnershop with Scout Productions, In Vogue: The 1990s with Disney+, Last Chance U: Basketball with Netflix and Discovery+’s Broken Harts.
Chu was formerly content chief at Disney+ and left in 2020.
