Marie Claire Appoints Lea Goldman As Executive Editor

Marie Claire has named Lea Goldman, Executive Editor.

The announcement was made by Editor-in-Chief Anne Fulenwider, and the appointment is effective immediately. Goldman who is Marie Claire's second executive editor had been features & special projects director since 2012. She joins Riza Cruz, who has been with the magazine since 2012, in that position.

In her new role Goldman will continue to write and edit features, as well as top-edit beauty and health coverage while managing the roster of Marie Claire's contributing editors. She will also continue to be responsible for Marie Claire @Work and report on such topics as politics, women's rights and international issues.

Goldman's career in Fashion journalism is admirable. Previously, she was a Senior Editor at Forbes Magazine, where she oversaw the magazine and website's entertainment coverage. She was also a regular contributor to Fox News Channel programs like Forbes on Fox and Your World with Neil Cavuto. She is the recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice in Journalism and earned an ASME nomination for her Marie Claire piece on "The Big Business of Breast Cancer".
