New York based, Irish journalist Samantha Barry has been named Editor-in-Chief of Glamour magazine, replacing Cindi Leive, who announced her departure from the glossy in September.

Barry previously worked as the executive producer for social and emerging media at CNN Worldwide, and commented 'I am as humbled by Glamour's past as I am excited about Glamour's future. I could not be more proud to take the reigns of an iconic women's brand at this pivotal moment for all women’s voices.... I look forward to building on the brand's success, and sharing Glamour with audiences everywhere'.
