Ann Shoket

Ann Shoket was named editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine in January 2007. Under her helm, the fashion and beauty icon publication for teen girls continues to represent an important rite of passage, helping more than 13 million readers grow up to be confident, self-assured young women. Shoket has grown the brand beyond the pages of the magazine so that teen girls can be a part of the Seventeen universe wherever they are: on our Web site, in print, on partner sites, social networking platforms and on Seventeen Fashion Finder, the recently launched iPhone application. Shoket lead the magazine to become the number one teen magazine on the newsstand within her first year, the first time the magazine has held that position since Hearst purchased it in 2003. Additionally, after a successful relaunch of Seventeen.com in April of 2007, the Web site continues to be the number one teen magazine site and the top 10 of all teen sites.
