As its Managing Director, Nicholas Coleridge has overseen a huge expansion in the activities of Conde Nast - the publishers of Vogue, GQ, Glamour and Tatler - over the past 19 years. With the recent launches of Wired and Love, even in a punishing economic climate, there are no signs that he is about to give up anytime soon.
On Sunday night he will be sharing his insight into the industry (and, we hope, some anecdotes from two decades at the top of the cut-throat international publishing business) in a talk entitled 'how to survive in the world of glossy magazines'.
A great survivor himself, Coleridge is also Vice-President of Conde Nast International (so one of the people Anna Wintour answers to, if that's possible to imagine) and takes a special interest in the company's Indian arm - and all aspects of Indian culture.
He has appointed some of the UK's top editors, from Alexandra Shulman at Vogue to Dylan Jones at GQ - and Geordie Greig, who recently left Tatler to become Editor of the Evening Standard and Editorial Director of The Independent.
So we think it's safe to say that Coleridge is not unqualified to talk about magazines.
Come and hear what he has to say at 8.15pm on Sunday (this Sunday - 5th week) in the Massey Room, Balliol College. £2 admission to cover our costs.
