Condé Nast International, the media company that counts Glamour, Vanity Fair and Vogue amongst its portfolio, has appointed Thomas Bucaille (left) to the newly-created role of director of talent.

Starting his career as a journalist, he spent a number of years in managerial and HR roles at cosmetics producers L’Oréal, before joining luxury fashion brand Christian Dior Couture, where he has been worldwide HR director since 2005. Stepping into the role in January, he will be based in London and report directly to chairman and chief executive Jonathan Newhouse.

Jonathan Newhouse, chairman and chief executive, Condé Nast International, said: "As the media and creative industries evolve, we are in a battle for talent — and winning that battle is more important than ever."
