Weight Watchers Names Former Ookla Chief Stephen Bye as CEO
x/ww-international
— 3d
Weight Watchers named Stephen Bye as its chief executive officer, with the appointment to take effect this fall, tapping a veteran leader who scaled Ookla’s subscription business and drove growth across tech and telecoms. The move aligns with Weight Watchers’ strategy to build an integrated weight health platform for the GLP-1 era, leveraging Bye’s track record in subscriptions and operational efficiency.

Xi expected to bring unusually large CEO delegation to Trump summit, sources say
x/xi-jinping
— Sep 4, 2026
Chinese President Xi Jinping is preparing to bring a sizeable group of Chinese business executives to Washington for the September 24 summit with Trump, signaling Beijing’s desire to renew investment and strengthen U.S.–China commercial ties despite ongoing scrutiny and domestic regulatory crackdowns. The delegation—unusually large as Xi rarely travels with executives—aims to reinforce ties and offer potential economic gains for the White House ahead of midterm elections, following a precedent set by the 2015 visit that yielded a major Boeing deal and high-profile tech engagement, though the exact lineup remains undisclosed.
