Nylon Names Paul Greenberg CEO

NYLON Media Inc. yesterday announced that Paul Greenberg has been named its new chief executive officer, effective immediately. The announcement was made by Marc Luzzatto, executive chairman of NYLON Media Inc.

"Our goal was to find a CEO who shared our vision and passion for the NYLON brand and whose experience and knowledge would help NYLON achieve its strategic goal of becoming a global, iconic, and ubiquitous brand and an integrated media company," said Luzzatto. "Paul is a leader whose expertise in media and technology, deep understanding of content/digital operations and revenue partnerships, and background in music and film make him the perfect choice to direct the expansion and growth of a modern media company like ours."

Back in May this year Nylon Mag was acquired by Nylon Media, Inc. (an affiliate of LA-based investor Marc Luzzatto through his team at Diversis Capital, LLC.) The new venture also acquired FashionIndie, with FashionIndie’s founders, Beca Alexander and Daniel Saynt, maintaining their titles of editor-in-chief and creative director, respectively. Joe Mohen who was hired as executive, and was the founder of Election.com but was fired after barely 2 weeks of the acquisition.

Now, Paul Greenberg, will work alongside new editor-in-chief Michelle Lee. Greenberg aims to enable the magazine to move forward from May's turbulent union."I am thrilled to join NYLON Media Inc. at such an exciting time. There is tremendous potential in the NYLON brand to create new endeavors across all media platforms. No one can match NYLON's authority with the Millennial audience nor its ability to develop creative and innovative native marketing solutions," said Greenberg.

Before joining Nylon Greenberg was formerly CEO of CollegeHumor and digital president of Time Inc.’s Lifestyle Group.
