Officially about Editor-in-Chief of Esquire Ukraine

After long negotiations and interviews, Hearst Inc. and Sanoma Media Ukraine have approved the candidate for the position of Editor-in-Chief of Esquire Ukraine. It has been occupied by Oleksiy Tarasov.

The team is starting work over the first issue next week, and it will appear for sale in mid-March (April issue).

Numerous proposals and job applications for this position were reviewed, but Hearst Inc. and Sanoma Media Ukraine have unanimously chosen Oleksiy.

Pop culture events and socially meaningful topics, beautiful and clever women and softly fried steak, good literature and convenient winter boots are of equal importance for it. There are several serious tasks before the Esquire Ukraine team: to involve best authors in Ukraine into creation of the magazine, to make the Ukrainian edition of the magazine worthy of its legendary name, and to justify the high expectations of readers.
