Martha Stewart Living got its fourth editor-in-chief in four years on March 8 with the appointment of Cookie and Momfilter.com founder Pilar Guzman to the top slot.
Guzman fills a vacancy left by Vanessa Holden, who left in February to become creative director for Williams-Sonoma’s home furnishing brand West Elm.
Guzman was founding editor-in-chief of the short-lived but critically acclaimed parenting title Cookie and went on to co-found Momfilter.com in the same niche. She was a senior editor at Real Simple and executive editor of architecture title One after starting out as a food and lifestyle writer at the New York Daily News.
MSL is the flagship title of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s profitable publishing arm. Guzman reports to the chief creative and editorial director Gael Towey.
Martha Stewart said the new EIC is “an accomplished editor who understands what the Martha Stewart Living reader needs and wants.”
Gael Towey and Michael Boodro have edited the magazine since 2009.
