Ron Galotti

Ron Galotti is an American former magazine executive. He was a corporate vice president at Condé Nast and the publisher of Newhouse-owned publications including Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair. Galotti conspicuously left Condé Nast to found Talk magazine with editor Tina Brown, where he was president of the company. Talk became a symbol of old-school excess and failed less than three years after its launch. The company was backed by Harvey Weinstein, who reportedly invested 50 million dollars of personal capital. After Talk folded, Galotti returned to Condé Nast and ran GQ for about two years before retiring to Vermont.
