Digiday’s parent names new CEO

Digiday Media, the parent company of Digiday, Glossy, Modern Retail and Worklife, has promoted chief operating officer David Amrani to CEO.

Nick Friese, who has served as Digiday’s CEO since founding the company in 2008, will remain chairman and focus on Digiday’s partnerships, acquisitions, investments and further extensions of its core brands.

“From the rise of smartphones to social media proliferation, cloud migration, and a global pandemic that reshaped the way we live and work, Digiday has guided our audiences through the digital transformation of the past 15 years,” said Friese in a statement. “With David as CEO of our executive team, we’re now geared up for continued expansion as we usher in the next era of digital business.”

Throughout his 10-year tenure, Amrani has led the development of its custom content, advertising and event sponsorship services. Amrani’s time at the company has additionally seen the launch of three editorial brands as Digiday Media expanded its initial concentration on media and marketing into retail, fashion, beauty and human resources.
