NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tivity Health® (Nasdaq: TVTY), a leading provider of fitness, nutrition and social engagement solutions, today announced that Donato J. Tramuto will depart as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and resign from the Board, effective immediately. The Board has appointed current Director Robert ("Bob") J. Greczyn, Jr. Interim CEO while it conducts a comprehensive CEO search with the assistance of a leading executive search firm. Greczyn has been a member of the Board since 2015 and has over 30 years of experience in leadership roles in managed care and healthcare at some of the nation's leading organizations.

In addition, Tommy Lewis, who was recently promoted to Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed Interim President of the Nutrition Business Unit to replace Keira Krausz, who resigned, effective February 18, 2020. Lewis will be supported by current Director and digital marketing and transformation expert Benjamin ("Ben") A. Kirshner, who will provide Board support for the Nutrition Business Unit's digital marketing efforts.

Kevin Wills, Chairman of the Board, commented, "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Donato for his dedication to Tivity Health. We appreciate his many contributions to the Company since he joined in 2013, including serving as a director and as Chairman of the Board before he was appointed CEO in 2015."

Wills continued, "We are fortunate that Bob, with his deep leadership experience in healthcare, is able to step in as Interim CEO as we search for a new CEO. Bob has been a leader on our Board for several years and we are confident that he will provide stability for the business, our partners and customers, as we continue to focus on increasing shareholder value. The search for our new CEO is underway and we are very optimistic that we will find the right individual, a person with fresh perspectives who will drive profitable growth across the business."

Greczyn stated, "We are grateful for Donato's leadership and years of service to Tivity Health. We have an experienced team at all levels within Tivity Health to carry the business forward as we transition to a new CEO. In addition to supporting the ongoing success of the Healthcare Business Unit, I will be focused in particular on working with Tommy, Ben and the rest of the team to return the Nutrition Business Unit to profitable growth while continuing to provide the highest quality solutions to our customers. I believe Tivity Health has a bright future and many opportunities to create value for all our stakeholders."

Tramuto added, "Since I became CEO in 2015, the organization has evolved and improved significantly.  We transformed the culture to one that empowers our colleagues with a focus on accountability, and we took bold steps to reposition the Company by exiting the unprofitable population health business, growing the core fitness business, and diversifying the model. I'm confident Tivity Health will continue improving the lives of millions of people through its unique offerings in the years ahead."
