Bonnier Corp.’s Parenting Group has restructured its editorial management team to focus on greater brand consistency across its multiple print and digital media platforms for moms. The group’s editorial content development will be led by co-directors Ana Connery, who will assume the role of director, print content, strategy & design, and Rachel Fishman Feddersen, who will become director, digital content, strategy & design.

The Parenting Group has also named Hervé Kwimo as the creative director. He will oversee the editorial design of each of the Parenting Group brands. Kwimo joins the Parenting Group from O, The Oprah Magazine, where he served as art director.

Connery’s leadership and creativity has led to heightened visibility and consistent advertising gains for the 2 million circulation publication throughout 2010. Prior to her time at Babytalk, Connery served four-and-a-half years as editor-in-chief of the award-winning Bonnier Corp. publication Florida Travel + Life.
