Before she joined National Geographic, Victoria Pope was executive editor for U.S. News and World Report, a publication for which she spent more than a decade as a foreign correspondent in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Russia, covering such seismic events as the imposition of martial law in Poland and the coup against Gorbachev in the former USSR.
Since joining National Geographic as managing editor in November 2005, Victoria has acted as the deputy to the editor in chief, supervising “Departments” and “Visions,” the most popular features in the magazine.
She is well-versed in the challenges of magazine journalism, including how to manage creative people and, during hard economic times, how to continue growing the business and delivering the uncompromising vision and quality for which National Geographic is celebrated worldwide.
Victoria also speaks to unique challenges for women in upper management roles, and—as the author of a forthcoming book on women pilots of World War II—shares keen insights on alternative careers for women.
