She will oversee the business operations of the company’s luxury, art, and women’s interest wing, which will include working closely with the brand’s editorial and business teams.

Prior to joining PMC, Perrot-Johnson was the CFO of Complex Networks, helping guide the company after it was acquired by BuzzFeed. Before that, she was the head of the Paramount Global Corporate FP&A team, where she led the consolidation of the company’s forecast, communicated financial results to its board, and managed its incentive plan.

Perrot-Johnson said she was “thrilled and honored” to join PMC. “What an amazing opportunity to bring my financial, strategic, and operational expertise to a global leader in the media industry which has assembled and grown a unique portfolio of iconic brands,” the executive said in a statement. “I look forward to collaborating with PMC’s visionary leaders and content creators to support the organization’s powerful cultural voice and expanding reach.”
