More suckers... er, executives join Martha Stewart. God's speed, gents.

From DJ:

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. appointed former Marvel Entertainment executive Ken West as its chief financial officer, the latest in a number of management shifts this year.The media company also named industry veteran Geoffrey A. Darby as general manager of its television unit and Michael Morrison as executive producer of "The Martha Stewart Show," which begins its seventh season Sept. 26.

From NY magazine:

There was unusually high executive churn, and according to many executives who worked there, it was an intensely frustrating environment in which to get things done. Robin Marino, the head of merchandising until this May, was responsible for 3,000 items at Macy's alone, but Stewart insisted on personally approving every one. "At a board meeting," recalls someone with knowledge of the episode, "Martha walked in with a pot, slammed it on the table, and goes, 'This is crap. I don't want my name on it.' " A series of highly capable executives came and went, worn down by Stewart and thwarted in their efforts to bring the company back to health. And yet, although Stewart's reputation of being a difficult boss was widely known, she continued to attract talented executives. Explains one: "Before you go there, you can't imagine how bad it is. You can't imagine that a company with a brand that's so big could keep functioning with so much dysfunction."
