"The courageous transformation of WeightWatchers from a retail weight loss company to a digital weight health company has been the proudest achievement of my career," Sistani wrote on Instagram.
"Sistani, who previously worked at Tumblr and cofounded social media app Houseparty, joined the company in 2022 when it was wrestling with how to create robust digital communities in a Zoom-driven world and compete with digitally native upstarts like Noom."
"Later that year, Sistani oversaw the acquisition of telehealth company Sequence, which prescribes weight-loss drugs, including GLP-1s, for $132 million."
"It remains to be seen whether WeightWatchers' telehealth offerings will change the course of the company, but the past few years have been difficult."
