Hearst Promotes Staffer to Digital Director of Elle

WWD: Jessica Roy has been promoted from deputy digital director of Hearst’s Elle magazine to digital director, taking the reins from Katie Connor, who recently decamped to W. Roy was deputy digital director for three years and previously held positions at The Cut, Time and the New York Observer. She takes control of the site at a pretty good time traffic-wise as Elle’s total audience was up 9 percent in 2020.
