Nutrition and food tracking app MyFitnessPal is welcoming a veteran marketer hired away from delivery app Grubhub as its new CMO.
The company appointed Marnie Boyer to the CMO role. Her arrival follows “fast fine” dining company Wonder announcing its acquisition of Grubhub from Just Eat Takeaway.com for around $650 million last November.
Former MyFitnessPal CMO Katie Keil appears to have left the role last September, and now is working as an independent consultant, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In a statement, Boyer said she would bring her “data-driven marketing and customer engagement to a platform that has empowered millions to take control of their health," and would work to build on the platform’s success while exploring “new ways to connect with members, inspire healthier choices, and make a lasting impact on their wellness journeys."
