Radar Publisher Jumps To Condé Nast

That didn’t last long: Katherine Rizzuto‘s marriage with Maer is over. Less than three months after Rizzuto joined Radar as VP/publisher, she has announced that she will leave the magazine’s third incarnation under Maer Roshan for Condé Nast’s Bridal Media group to become publisher of Brides, Modern Bride, Elegant Bride and Your Prom.

Rizzuto was publisher at Marie Claire from 2000 to 2004, and the associate publisher of Brides from 1997 to 2000.

As recently as August, Rizzuto was touting Roshan’s magnetism:

I was amazed by the loyalty to Maer.

It appears her amazement didn’t translate into such loyalty.

Says Susan Rerat, vice president and publishing director of Brides Media: “Katherine is a seasoned publishing professional with an extensive print background. Her success in consumer magazines makes her the perfect choice for this position at Condé Nast Bridal Media and we are happy to welcome her back to our company.”

More importantly, what does Maer think?
