NYT > Business > Media · Katie Robertson · last updated

Mr. Baidawi, 35, replaces the magazine’s longtime editor Will Welch. He says he wants the magazine to be a “North Star of masculinity.”

Adam Baidawi recalls being enthralled by GQ magazine the first time he pored through an issue as a teenager in suburban Melbourne, Australia.

Some two decades later — and on the other side of the world — Mr. Baidawi will now take the helm of the men’s magazine as its next global editorial director.
