New publisher named at Conde Nast Portfolio

William Li is the new publisher at Conde Nast Portfolio, according to a report by Stephanie Smith at Women’s Wear Daily.

He replaces David Carey, who was promoted last week.

Smith wrote, “Li is a close colleague of Carey’s, having worked with him at House & Garden when it was relaunched in 1996 and at The New Yorker when Carey was that title’s president and publisher. Carey was given oversight of Wired Media and The Golf Digest titles last week during the reorganization, in addition to Portfolio, and will handle larger initiatives across the group of magazines.

“A replacement for Li at Men’s Vogue has not yet been named, but sources close to 4 Times Square mentioned Details associate publisher Marc Berger as a possible candidate. New publishers at Teen Vogue and wired.com have also yet to be tapped.”
