In early January, 2008 Mr. Fox was terminated by Conde Nast.. He had developed many executives in the company and reversed many declining businesses for Conde Nast. Mr. Fox was also a great champion of attempting to develop the magazines "brands" in to multi platform media entities, mostly by develoing them online...by taking advantage of their existing readership, awareness and communities (although undeveloped and not utilized at the time) . The press reported how this strategy conflicted with existing plans for the company, and led to Mr. Fox's ouster.
