In the latest chapter of the DLN’s continued evolution as the design industry’s essential trade association, the organization is welcoming an industry veteran into the newly established role of Director of Partnerships. Beth Fuchs Brenner will bring her industry expertise and strategic vision to the DLN at an exciting time of growth and innovation. She will lead the cultivation, development, and day-to-day engagement of the DLN’s partner community.
A celebrated figure in the design and publishing world, Beth was previously the Chief Revenue Officer of Domino Media Group and later President of Galerie Media Group, where she oversaw strategic partnerships, print and digital advertising, and the development of publishing and e-commerce platforms. Her tenure as founding Vice President & Publisher of Domino Magazine during its Condé Nast launch in 2005 resulted in numerous industry accolades, including Advertising Age’s “Launch of the Year.”Most recently, she served as Head of Business Development for FORM Kitchens, where she spearheaded the launch of the company’s trade program. Before FORM Kitchens, she served as President of Semihandmade, where she expanded the LA-based company’s offerings to new markets and audiences. Needless to say, Beth’s career is a testament to transformative leadership across media, publishing, and business development.
“Beth’s ability to foster meaningful collaborations and drive impactful initiatives makes her an invaluable addition to the DLN team,” said Michael Diaz-Griffith, Executive Director and CEO of the Design Leadership Network. “The DLN’s partners are an integral part of our community, and Beth’s role will ensure that each one is fully supported in navigating the growing opportunities our organization offers. As our programs have expanded, we recognize the need for a leader who will not only forge new relationships but also cultivate and sustain them daily so our partners derive the greatest possible value from their engagement with the DLN.
Beth’s addition to the organization represents a streamlined approach to DLN Partnerships, with the Partner program integrated into every element of the DLN. Besides recruiting and onboarding new Partners, Beth will work closely with the leaders at the DLN’s partner brands to enrich their experience and elevate the value they derive from their relationships with the DLN—a crucial function as our offerings continue to expand.
“Beth’s leadership will enhance our ability to support our community through transformative programs and relationships,” says DLN Founder Peter Sallick. “Her vision and track record are unparalleled, and I’m thrilled to see the impact she’ll have on the DLN’s future.”
“I am honored to join the Design Leadership Network at this pivotal moment in its history,” says Beth. “I look forward to working with our partners to create programs and initiatives that elevate the design industry and provide meaningful opportunities for connection, growth, and collaboration.”
Beth officially joins us on February 24, and I know she is eager to connect with each of you. In the weeks following her start, she will be reaching out directly to our partners to introduce herself and begin conversations about all the exciting opportunities ahead.
