Ms. Zier is a 20-year veteran of Reader’s Digest Association, Inc., a leading global, multi-brand and multi-platform media and direct marketing company. At Reader’s Digest, she served in a range of leadership positions across the United States and internationally, most recently as president of the company’s international business, with responsibility for $750 million of revenue and a team of 1,000 employees across Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

While at Reader’s Digest, Ms. Zier established a consumer-centric and affinity marketing model, developing new product offerings and marketing strategies specifically targeted to the demographics and psychographics of key groups of customers and prospects. She has a strong track record of driving growth across the food affinity and digital channels. As president of the international business, she has been actively building the company’s portfolio of licensing arrangements in countries outside the U.S., while significantly reducing operating costs. She is a respected thought leader in the direct marketing business, and has served on the board of directors of the Direct Marketing Association since 2008.

Mike Hagan, chairman of the Nutrisystem board of directors stated, “We’re excited to announce the appointment of Dawn Zier as Nutrisystem’s next president and chief executive officer. Dawn’s experience and accomplishments fit our requirements perfectly, as she has led Reader’s Digest Association’s transformation to a customer-centric business model, built new products and developed new revenue streams in the digital arena, and demonstrated a clear ability to manage costs and drive efficiencies to deliver strong financial results. We believe that she will be a powerful agent for change, and we look forward to her contributions, perspective, and leadership at Nutrisystem.”

Dawn Zier added, “Joining Nutrisystem is a wonderful opportunity for me personally, and the logical next step in my career. The company has a strong portfolio of products that help consumers lose weight, improve their health, and live better lives. It has significant name recognition as a result of several decades of marketing investment in the brand. And it’s universally seen as one of the leaders in the weight loss sector. With a fresh and creative approach to the consumer, a thoughtful eye to new product development, and a careful effort to contain costs, I believe we can improve financial performance and build shareholder value. I look forward to working with Mike Hagan, the board of directors, and the entire Nutrisystem team to make this happen.”

Ms. Zier holds a Master of Business Administration degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management, as well as a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. She received her Bachelor of Engineering degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Ms. Zier will join Nutrisystem on November 15, 2012. Joe Redling will remain with the company as chief executive officer through disclosure of the company’s third quarter financial results on November 9, 2012. David Clark, the company’s chief financial officer, will serve as interim chief executive officer between Mr. Redling’s departure date and Ms. Zier’s arrival at the company.
