Jim Gold named CEO of Moda Operandi. The former Neiman Marcus executive has held the position on an interim basis since January 11. Gold will join the luxury e-commerce company’s board, and continue to work closely with founder and chief brand officer Lauren Santo Domingo. Moda Operandi expects to close a funding round this month.

Violet Grey appoints Sarah Brown as executive director. The former Vogue beauty director will oversee collaborations, scout brands and enlist other experts for the luxury online beauty retailer as the head of its newly launched product development and content hub, Violet Lab.

Condé Nast names Leta Shy editor-in-chief of Self. The US-based digital fitness-focused magazine’s newest leader comes from its consumer marketing division, where Shy has served the global commerce category director of health, beauty and fitness since January. Like Condé Nast’s other US-based editors, Shy will report to Anna Wintour, Vogue global editorial director and Condé Nast chief content officer.
