Cosmopolitan Australia is poised for a relaunch on August 12, under the leadership of Publisher Katarina Kroslakova and her publishing house, KK Press, in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International.

The relaunch will see Tessa Ogle taking the helm as Editor-in-Chief, and Zoe Davis stepping in as Commercial Director.

Ogle's career boasts roles at notable publications such as The Age newspaper, The Conversation, Harper's BAZAAR, Esquire, Marie Claire, and ELLE. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications from The University of Melbourne.

Kim St. Clair Bodden, senior vice president of editorial and brand director of Hearst Magazines International, expressed confidence in Ogle's appointment. “A talented editor with a proven track record working on leading media brands for women, Tessa is well suited to lead Cosmopolitan's return to Australia across all platforms. We are excited to see how she and her team build upon Cosmo’s legacy of inspiring young women with delightful features and fresh insight that serves their daily lives.”

Ogle said she was proud to lead the team on the relaunch of the iconic Cosmopolitan Australia.

"It's a title so meaningful across generations as the ultimate source for the latest in style, beauty, entertainment, relationships, sex, and more," she said. "I am particularly excited to bring in a new and diverse range of voices and expert contributors from all over Australia to ensure that Cosmo is a reflection of the vibrant and diverse community we serve, as we deliver thought-provoking and insightful journalism true to the joy and spirit at the heart of this much-loved brand.”

Davis, meanwhile, brings nearly two decades of experience in sales, marketing, and strategy, with career highlights including roles at Rolling Stone, Business Chicks, Big Day Out, Laneway Festival, and her own marketing agency.

“In March 2006, I moved my kitten-heeled, pencil-skirted, 20-something self from Hobart to Sydney after securing a dream internship with young women's lifestyle giant, Cosmo. Nearly two decades later, I am thrilled to continue that dream by joining Cosmopolitan Australia as Commercial Director," she said. "A heartfelt thanks to Katarina Kroslakova for the opportunity to lead such a talented commercial team, representing an adored media brand. I’m truly excited about this new era of Cosmo and look forward to working alongside our brand partners to create dynamic cross-platform campaigns.”

Kroslakova will also serve as Editor-at-Large for Cosmopolitan Australia.

“Under Tessa and Zoe’s expert leadership, Cosmopolitan Australia is shaping up to be an absolute powerhouse of talent. Both the editorial and commercial teams are making this launch truly incredible. We have already engaged some of Australia’s most diverse voices and influential commercial partners for the launch issue, proving why Cosmopolitan remains as essential and vibrant today as it was under Helen Gurley Brown's pioneering vision in 1965," she said.

"The overwhelmingly positive response to the announce that Cosmo is coming back has been immense and I’m so excited for everyone in Australia to read the first issue when it hits the stands on August 12th.”
