Mark Wildman is leaving Reader's Digest to join magazine publisher Bonnier Corp. as senior vice president of corporate sales and marketing. Wildman was most recently vice president of integrated marketing at Reader's Digest Association, but his replacement, Maureen Polo, was announced last week. He will start at Bonnier on November 6.

While at RDA, Wildman worked to establish the integrated sales and marketing group for the company's Food & Entertaining Affinity. Before joining Reader's Digest in 2007, Wildman worked as executive director at Conde Nast Media Group.

"Bonnier is a strong, forward-thinking organization with more than 50 consumer media brands like Saveur, Popular Science, Field & Stream and Parenting," Wildman said. "As consumers continue their shift toward real and meaningful, the Bonnier brands are very well-positioned, delivering specific well-defined audiences which are highly engaged and emotionally invested in the content."

New York, N.Y. – Bonnier Corp. CEO Terry Snow announced today the appointment of Mark Wildman as the new Senior Vice President of Corporate Sales & Marketing. Wildman, a Vice President at Reader’s Digest and former Condé Nast Executive Director, will be responsible for developing and managing Bonnier’s commitment to expanding corporate sales and marketing.
