Simone Oliver, Global Editor In Chief at Refinery29, Podcast Summary
This week Ekta talks to Simone Oliver, Global Editor In Chief for Refinery29. Oliver is the Global Editor-In-Chief of Refinery29, the leading media and entertainment destination focused on women and underrepresented voices. As Global Editor-In-Chief at Refinery29, now part of Vice Media Group, Simone is responsible for identifying and building impact-minded, insight-driven content and partnerships that speak to this powerful generation of women through the lens of culture, identity, and lifestyle.
A cultural tastemaker and passionate content creator, Oliver has a wealth of experience in publishing. Prior to Refinery29, she spent thirteen years in various editorial and strategy posts at the New York Times, served as Digital Director at Allure and most recently on the Global Media Partnerships Team at Facebook and Instagram, where she led collaborations with magazines and lifestyle publishers.
“I started working at my school paper, it was very much peer mentorship. I was learning from the editor of the paper, and he taught me ‘this is a lead, this is a nut graph’ and I was writing for all sections. I covered the women’s track team, I covered entertainment, campus crime and going to talk to campus police and dorm people, just understanding what happened. Eventually, I was really starting to get the hang of it. I was still on track as an English major, which pushes you into the academia end of things, and I realized that ‘this is what I want to do’, work in publishing.” (Oliver).
