Mannino helped launch and build the N.Y. office of bicoastal Nomad and now exits with full support of the company partners who are currently seeking her successor.

Editor John Murray, a Nomad co-founder, said of Mannino, “She was instrumental in the opening of our New York office and has built a dynamic and creative work environment. We wish her great success in her new endeavor.”
Mannino came aboard Nomad in 2007 after spending a year on personal projects and travel. Prior to that she served for six years as co-founder/exec producer of editorial house 3 Fingered Louie,, and earlier served as a producer for Mad River Post.
