WeightWatchers' CEO of roughly two years, Sima Sistani, is out. AdvertisementIt's been a bumpy year for WW International, the company also known as WeightWatchers. In a leadership shake-up Friday, the weight-loss company announced CEO Sima Sistani is stepping down after roughly two years — effective immediately — and board member Tara Comonte is stepping up to serve as interim chief. Sistani helped push the company into the weight-loss drug space in 2023 through the $106 million acquisition of telehealth platform Sequence — which is now called WeightWatchers Clinic, and which prescribes weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. The telehealth purchase marked something of a pivot from the group support meetings and calorie-tracking menus WeightWatchers is known for, though the company also launched a behavioral program for patients on Ozempic.

New York CNN —WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani, who pushed the company into embracing weight-loss drugs, is leaving the position after a two-year stint. “These medications have shown, and science has evolved to say, that living with obesity is a chronic condition. Winfrey joined the board in 2015 and bought a 10% stake, immediately giving the beleaguered company relevance. Tara Comonte, a WeightWatchers board member and a former CEO of Shake Shack, will become the interim CEO effective immediately, the company said in a release. Prior to joining the company in June 2023, she was the CEO of a fertility technology company.
