Stephanie Meyers, group director of digital growth at Inc. and Fast Company magazines, died earlier this week.

She was 37.

“She was just a pillar of light in the organization who really touched everyone in a positive way,” said Richard Russey, senior vice president and publisher at Inc. magazine. “It will take some time for us to come to grips with it all.”

She had been in that position since June 2018, overseeing social media teams and strategy and acting as product manager for audience development, video, and podcast products.

Meyers was previously a social media editor and director of strategy and social media for Inc.

She also was an editor at Mental Floss Magazine.
