THERE IS ONE DEPARTURE: Bernd Runge, a top executive at Condé Nast International, is leaving the company, according to a memo by Condé Nast International chairman Jonathan Newhouse. Runge has been serving as president of Condé Nast Germany, as well as overseeing the New Markets Europe/Africa division and holding the title of vice president, Condé Nast International. Newhouse wrote, “He recently informed me of his decision to take a break and step down at the end of this year. With sadness and understanding I accept this development.” Newhouse added, “There is no one else like him.” Runge, 47, directed the company’s expansion into Russia with the launch of Russian Vogue, and oversaw moves into several other countries, for a total portfolio of 26 magazines in 10 countries. A spokeswoman for the company said Runge would not be replaced at this time, and that his duties would likely be assumed by existing management. — Irin Carmon
