Cyndi Stivers
Cyndi Stivers
Executive Vice President
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
  Cyndi Stivers is the Executive Vice President of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc.(MSLO), which she joined in May 2005. Her first big project: the fall ?05 launch of the Martha Stewart Living Radio channel on Sirius Satellite Radio.

Stivers was founding editor-in-chief of Time Out New York magazine, first published on September 27, 1995. Two years later, she was named president of the company. Besides TONY, Stivers supervised the weekly Time Out Chicago (launched March 2005), Time Out New York Kids (a print-online hybrid founded in March 2004), and four annuals: guidebooks to restaurants, clubs and the city as a whole, plus the TONY Student Guide.

Under Stivers?s stewardship, Time Out New York was nominated for a Temple University Acres of Diamonds Award (for distinguished launches) and for four National Magazine awards, including two for General Excellence. The magazine won a GLAAD Media Award (2000).

Stivers serves on the boards of Mediabistro and the School of Visual Arts Foundation and is a trustee of Barnard College. From 1998 to 2005, she was on the board of the Magazine Publishers of America, and in May 2002 concluded a term as president of the American Society of Magazine Editors, during which she chaired the October 2001 American Magazine Conference. From 1996 to 2000, she organized ASME?s Magazine Workshop for junior editors. She is a frequent guest lecturer at professional meetings and at colleges, including the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, New York University?s Summer Publishing Institute, and the Stanford Professional Publishing Course.

Born in Manhattan, Stivers worked full-time at the New York Post while still an undergraduate at Barnard College, where she studied 19th-century English literature. Since her days at the Post, she has worked as a reporter, writer, and editor at several other newspapers, and at such magazines as Life, Us, Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveler, and Premiere. In 2000, she was named one of the "Five to Watch" in a Columbia Journalism Review story about the nation?s best magazine editors.
