Ronald A. "Ron" Galotti is an American former magazine executive and publisher. He was a corporate vice president at Condé Nast and the publisher of Newhouse-owned publications including Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair. Galotti conspicuously left Condé Nast to co-found Talk magazine with editor Tina Brown, where he served as president of the company. Talk became a symbol of old-school excess and failed less than three years after its launch. The company was backed by Harvey Weinstein, who reportedly invested $50 million of personal capital. After Talk folded, Galotti returned to Condé Nast and ran GQ for about two years before retiring to Vermont.
