Ande Zellman
Creative strategies and communications
Editor, publishing innovator

Ande Zellman is an award-winning editor and publishing executive, well-known and recognized for her innovation and extensive expertise across multi-media platforms. After 25 years at the leading edge of journalism, she has broadened her portfolio to include a wide range of corporate and publishing clients seeking creative strategic vision, results-oriented implementation, new business development, and repositioning of mature products.

Most recently Ande has held senior positions at the Boston Globe and Newsweek where she often straddled editorial and corporate sides of the business supervising everything from groundbreaking news coverage to a variety of multi-media ventures in television, radio and on the Internet.


Ande began her 17-year tenure at The Boston Globe at The Boston Globe Magazine where she was editor-in-chief for nearly a decade. Under her leadership the magazine experienced its greatest period of growth and launched the careers of many nationally known reporters, authors, and visual artists. As Associate Editor for New Initiatives, Ande was a member of the management team that pioneered The Boston Globe's expansion into multi-media ventures including Boston.com and numerous television partnerships. She conceived and edited a yearlong series of special millennium magazines and the accompanying town meetings on politics, arts and urban planning and launched the popular COMversations technology forums. Before leaving The Boston Globe, Ande completed a strategic task force review of the entire newspaper, which yielded several new sections including the multi-platform BostonWorks, Ideas, and expanded business, arts and cultural coverage.

As Assistant Managing Editor at Newsweek, Ande reported directly to the editor and was involved in every aspect of the magazine. Her wide-ranging duties included overseeing special news and cultural packages, supervising Newsweek's partnerships with MSNBC, NBC and the Washington Post Interactive Group, as well as developing projects that extended the Newsweek franchise. During her career, she also held senior editor positions at the Dallas Times Herald and the Boston Phoenix.

Dozens of awards for news, features, photography and design have been won under her direction, including a Pulitzer Prize, Livingston and Penny-Missouri Awards. She was executive producer on a TV documentary that was honored with the George Foster Peabody Award, considered one of the most prestigious in broadcasting.
