KO Média has named new editorial leadership for its three most-read beauty and lifestyle publications.

Joanna Fox has been named editor-in-chief of Elle Canada and Elle Québec, having previously been Elle Canada’s associate editor. Théo Dupuis-Carbonneau, who previously led Elle Canada’s health and beauty content, has been named editor-in-chief for Véro, the namesake magazine for Quebec media personality Véronique Cloutier.
