Jean-Emmanuel de Witt has been appointed CEO of Sanoma Independent Media, the parent company of The Moscow Times, the publishing house said Tuesday.
SIM's previous CEO, Yelena Myasnikova, resigned in September, complaining of excessive control by the company's Finnish management.
SIM publishes Vedomosti, Cosmopolitan and Esquire, among others. Founded by Dutch expatriate Derk Sauer in 1992, Independent Media was bought by Finnish media group Sanoma in January 2005
