Time Inc. loses another top sales chief

Another top sales executive has departed from Time Inc., only days before its spin-off from Time Warner on June 6, coincidentally the anniversary of D-Day.

Diane Oshin, who most recently was a group publisher in charge of All You, Cooking Light and My Recipes, and who was the launch publisher of All You magazine, has left the company.

But while rumors of more cuts are still circulating this week, Oshin said her departure is voluntary.

“There is no buyout package,” she said. “This company has been wonderful to me, and I’ve been wonderful to them.

“I’m going take the summer off and get into something totally different in the fall.”

She said she is looking forward to cooking dinner for her college-age son and taking in baseball games of her high school-aged son.

She said she is looking in three areas: the healthy food sector, the experiential adventure travel field and philanthropic endeavors.

“I’ll look to join an organization in one of those areas,” she said.

Her position is being broken up.

With her departure, Time is shuffling its deck. Health publisher Kevin White will oversee that along with Cooking Light and My Recipes. Current All You publisher Suzanne Quint keeps that title but reports further up the corporate ladder to Executive Vice President Evelyn Webster.
