This week, Alyssa catches up with Marie Claire’s editor-in-chief for a play-by-play of her incredible climb up the masthead at legacy publications like Vanity Fair, Glamour, InStyle, Elle, GQ, and Harper’s Bazaar. Nikki gives a firsthand account of the post-2007 recession vibe shift in media and the days when digital editors were seen as “the weird kids in the corner,” and opens up about how staying curious, being a fast learner, admitting what she doesn’t know, gaining confidence through daily practice (and by osmosis from colleagues), building solid relationships, and being nice have helped her land where she is today.
