Stephen Orr will become editor-in-chief of Meredith Corp.'s Better Homes and Gardens on July 6, taking over from long time chief Gayle Butler, who will retire.
The 50-year old will move from his executive editor perch at Conde Nast Traveler.
Previously, Orr was VP/editorial director for Martha Stewart Living with oversight of multi-channel content focused on style/food/gardening and licensed product development.
During his more than 25-year magazine run, Orr worked at House & Garden, Domino, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Epicurious.
Tom Harty, president of Meredith's national media group, said Orr "knows how to connect with audiences on multiple platforms, be it print, digital, mobile, video or social, and has a clear affinity for the Better Homes and Gardens brand."
Orr will report to Jon Werther, national media group executive VP.
Butler, who worked at Meredith for more than 30 years, held the BH&G eic since 2006. The magazine has a circulation of 7.6M.
Harty praised Butler for doing an "outstanding job ensuring that the brand is contemporary, modern and relevant to American women from baby boomers to millennials."
