BERLIN, Dec. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 8fit, the leading health and fitness app, today announced that its board of directors has named both Mark Ralea and Lisette Fabian as the company's new leadership team, as CEO and co-CEO respectively. Ralea and Fabian bring nearly three decades of combined leadership experience to the young brand.
A digital industry veteran with 17 years of experience, Mark Ralea most recently led the transformation and expansion of STYLEBOP.com, a global e-commerce store for luxury fashion, as Managing Director.

"I am delighted to be joining 8fit at such a thrilling time for both the company and world of mobile, personalized fitness," said Ralea. "I'm honored to hold this position, eager to partner with Lisette and help elevate this pioneering brand."
Joining Ralea, Lisette Fabian has been with 8fit since January 2019 as VP of Product and will be taking on the role of co-CEO.
