Jessica Tolmach spent decades at Condé Nast Publications as an editor, branding strategist and director of sales on a variety of magazines including Vogue, Self, Glamour and Condé Nast Traveler. After graduating from Connecticut College with a double degree in English Literature and Art History, she began her career at PBS’ The MacNeil Lehrer NewsHour before her passion for fashion and design lured her to New York City and the world of lifestyle magazine publishing. For the past four years, she has been the Publishing Director of FREDERIC Media, a division of F. Schumacher & Co.

She is an avid traveler, amateur wildlife photographer, voracious reader, obsessed baker—the more butter the better!—once upon a time dancer and backpacker/hiker (summers at Cheley in Estes Park) and the mother of two highly musical boys in their 20’s. She lives in Greenwich, CT with her husband and two Sheepadoodles.
