Elfi Langefeld leaves Burda Verlag

None

After 13 successful years, Elfi Langefeld is leaving Burda Verlag. In various leadership roles, most recently as Chief Product Officer, she has shaped Burda's luxury and lifestyle segment with great passion, entrepreneurial flair, creativity and a keen eye for new developments. 

Under her leadership, Burda's premium brands developed into modern, cross-platform brand businesses. Milestones include the launch of Harper's Bazaar and Esquire in Germany, new developments such as Instyle Mini & Me, Instyle GenZ and Elle Traveller, as well as the international expansion of the commerce platform Tracdelight. The integration of print, digital, social media, events, e-commerce and influencer marketing within the luxury and lifestyle segment also bears her signature. 

Burda would like to thank Elfi Langefeld most warmly for her energy, her ideas and the many impulses with which she has enriched the publishing house for the long term. We wish her all the very best and every success for the road ahead.
