    From a special project room through to launch in Feb 2007, I was the editor’s right-hand woman, managing and editing the huge weekly glossy on a daily basis and spearheading many editorial evolutions over the years. New challenges were managing and synergising the editorial team with our digital platforms and prioritising commercial partnerships with creative media and ad teams. I was Acting Editor from Sept 2011 to Feb 2013 covering maternity leave. I revamped the mag, introduced tap-to-buy on the iPad version and an interactive print issue. I’m proud of my ‘event’ covers, like Alesha Dixon’s Olympic celebration. I also led the charge to ‘posh’ up the print brand in a crowded market.
