A New Chapter for The Rake: Nick Sargent Named CEO

We are honoured to announce the appointment of Nick Sargent as The Rake's new CEO, bringing abundant industry knowledge from senior posts at GQ, The Art Newspaper and other leading publications to help amplify the magazine's taste-driven, distinctive storytelling.

"I am delighted to be joining The Rake. It is an enormous honour to become part of one of the most prestigious and respected titles in the world of modern luxury, particularly at a time when the profile of the industry, the growth of leading brands, and global interest in the sector are at an all-time high," says Nick. 

"We are living in a moment when readers increasingly value quality — thoughtful, well-written journalism, exceptional photography, and world-class art direction. The Rake delivers all of this and more. From our internationally acclaimed print edition to podcasts, newsletters, video series, and reader events, The Rake offers an outstanding breadth of editorial content created by an unrivalled network of contributors and experts. It is clear why the brand continues to see strong growth in both readership and subscriptions worldwide. I very much look forward to working closely with Tom and the wider team to build on the tremendous success The Rake has achieved across multiple markets over many years, and to contributing to the continued growth of an already highly influential global brand. The role The Rake plays in championing the very best of luxury, craftsmanship, and culture is widely recognised, and I am excited to be part of its future."
