NEW YORK (AP) — WeightWatchers is shaking up its leadership. WW International on Friday announced that CEO Sima Sistani would leave her role effective immediately. Tara Comonte, a WeightWatchers board member and former Shake Shack executive, was made interim chief executive. The New York-based company didn’t reveal the reasons behind the abrupt move. It noted that Comonte would step into the CEO role at a time when the company is “focused on improving its operational and financial performance.” Sistani joined WeightWatchers as CEO more than two years ago. During her tenure, she led the company’s moves into the prescription drug weight-loss business.
