FORT WASHINGTON, Pa.,
July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Philadelphia SmartCEO has named Dawn Zier, President and CEO of Nutrisystem Inc.
[NASDAQ: NTRI] a 2014 Brava! Award winner. The Brava! Awards
celebrate the distinguished achievements of Greater Philadelphia's top women business
leaders. The SmartCEO awards program recognizes female CEOs who
combine entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for giving back to
the community.
"Brava winners possess the utmost qualities in a leader —
vision, passion, compassion, dedication, perseverance. Every one of
this year's winners exhibits these qualities in running their
business, their families and their philanthropic activities. They
give 110 percent of themselves," says Rick
Crane, regional president of SmartCEO Media. "We are
honored and humbled to recognize a group of women who are truly
making a difference in the world."
"I am especially honored to receive this prestigious award from
Philadelphia SmartCEO celebrating not just an executive's success
managing the bottom line, but also the impact female executives are
having beyond the boardroom," said Zier. "I'm delighted to share
this honor with the others who were so deservedly recognized and
look forward to continuing to strive to personify the spirit of the
award."
Zier joined Nutrisystem in November
2012 to turn around the company. The company's year
one performance under her leadership demonstrates that the vision
she has set, coupled with her ability to build a team that can
execute against the strategic initiatives, is delivering results.
She has been able to significantly grow earnings per share, improve
profitability, drive cash flow, and make the necessary changes
to the business model to demonstrate future revenue growth
potential. In addition, under her leadership, Nutrisystem has
significantly expanded its partnership with the American Diabetes
Association® particularly in the Philadelphia community. Zier will serve as
Co-Chair for the Association's Step Out®: Walk to Stop Diabetes® in
Philadelphia in November.
