Mindy Grossman’s star just keeps on rising.
On Tuesday, Recode reported that Grossman is joining the board of sports apparel retailer Fanatics. The news comes just a few months after the veteran retail was named president and CEO of Weight Watchers (WTW), a role she will step into next month.
Prior to her new role at the weight-loss company, Grossman served as chief of HSNi (HSNI) (formerly known as the Home Shopping Network) for eight years and held a number of roles across well-known retail brands including Nike (NKE), Ralph Lauren (RL), and Tommy Hilfiger. She has nearly four decades of experience working with consumer brands and chairs the the National Retail Federation’s board.

Excited to push boundaries!!
— Mindy Grossman (@mindygrossman) March 20, 2017
Back in March, just prior to her Weight Watchers appointment, Grossman tweeted that she was “excited to push boundaries.”
As one of very few female chief executives and board directors—just 6% of Coins2Day 500 CEOs and 20% of S&P board members are women—she is doing just that.
