Women’s Health has appointed Katie Mulloy as Editor.

Mulloy joined the magazine as Deputy Editor in 2014 and has held the position of Acting Editor since July 2015.

Prior to Women’s Health she spent five years as a freelance journalist living in Paris, contributing regularly to a variety of women’s lifestyle magazines including Marie-Claire and InStyle.

She has also held roles at brands including ELLE, Company and Look.

Mulloy will oversee the editorial strategy and execution of the brand with immediate effect. She replaces previous Editor Farrah Storr, who was appointed Editor of Cosmopolitan in July this year.

Anna Jones, CEO of Hearst Magazines UK, said: “Katie has been an integral part of the team behind the success of Women’s Health, and instinctively understands what has made it a unique and much-loved title within the women’s glossy market.

“I’m therefore delighted that she will be leading the brand through the next stage of its development as Women’s Health continues to grow both in print and online.”
