Condé Nast last week named Luke Robins as UK head of industry, fashion, luxury and beauty. In this newly created role, the publisher says Robins will drive commercial innovation and growth across three of Condé Nast’s largest divisions.
Robins joins from Dazed Media, where he is currently serving as global executive publishing & commercial director, leading the commercial, creative services and revenue teams. Across his twenty years in industry, Robins has held a number of roles at media publishers. He was senior vice president/global associate publisher & head of luxury at The Economist Group and held various positions at Hearst UK, including as associate publisher in the luxury division.
Natalia Gamero del Castillo, managing director, Europe at Condé Nast said: “I’m incredibly excited to welcome Luke to Condé Nast. He brings an incredible wealth of experience in the industry and has both built and scaled up innovative commercial propositions for a host of different media brands in the past 20 years. I’m looking forward to seeing him apply this same future-facing attitude to Condé Nast’s best-in-class commercial team to create even more compelling work for our clients.”
Lyndsey Natale, global head of industry, fashion and luxury at Condé Nast said: “Luke’s appointment is an exciting moment for Condé Nast UK, characterised by new leaders, fresh perspectives and innovative minds. Luke’s unique blend of digital acumen and brand expertise makes him the perfect addition to our talented team and positions him well to accelerate our UK endemic revenue.”
Luke Robins, UK head of industry, fashion, luxury and beauty at Condé Nast added: “I am thrilled to be joining Condé Nast at such a positive transformational time in the history of the company and being part of this future vision truly fills me with enormous energy, pride and excitement. Being part of the team leading and growing such iconic and 'culturally defining' brands within the group represents such an amazing opportunity as does joining a company full of the best creative and commercial talent in the industry.”
