The company said Jankovic, who has served as the president and COO since 2002, will continue to support NutriSystem “in an advisory role to facilitate a smooth management transition”.
Jankovic is also stepping down as a director. NutriSystem’s chairman and CEO Michael J Hagan will assume the role of president.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank my friend George for his contribution to NutriSystem and for being part of the management team that led to NutriSystem’s emergence as a leading player in the weight loss market,” Hagan said. “George has been an integral part of this team and while we will certainly miss George, we respect his decision and wish him and his family all the best. I am more than confident that the team we have in place is fully capable to continue to lead the charge in effectively growing our customer base and reaching the millions of dieters in today’s market.”
Jankovic said: “I’d like to thank everyone for their support during my time at NutriSystem. This was a very difficult decision for me to make, but at this time I need to prioritise my and my wife’s families who reside overseas and who are currently going through serious health-related problems. Having been with NutriSystem for close to four years, I know first hand how great the NutriSystem family is, how far the NutriSystem brand has come, and how bright NutriSystem’s future looks. I leave knowing that I will be missing out on some great achievements and milestones as NutriSystem’s business continues to flourish and its successes continue to build. It has been a privilege to be a part of such a great professional and visionary team.”
