Oprah Winfrey to leave board of Weight Watchers

After five years of serving on the board of Weight Watchers, Oprah Winfrey has announced her decision to step down. The media mogul joined the board of the weight loss company in 2015 and has helped boost its profile and stock price during her tenure.

In a statement, Winfrey expressed her gratitude for the time she spent on the board and the impact the company has had on people’s lives. She stated, “I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the transformation and growth of Weight Watchers over the past five years. I have learned so much from the talented leadership and staff and will always be a fan of the company.”

Weight Watchers also released a statement thanking Winfrey for her service and praising her for her dedication to the company’s mission of helping people lead healthier lives.

It is unclear what Winfrey’s next move will be, but she will always be associated with the Weight Watchers brand due to her high-profile endorsement and involvement with the company.
