March 30, 2016

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Massage Envy, the pioneer and largest national franchisor of massage therapy and skincare services, today announced the appointment of Beth Stiller as its new chief commercial officer. Stiller will be responsible for leading Massage Envy's services, retail, innovation and operations teams. Stiller joins the company from Walgreens where she was the group vice president of global brands and sourcing.

"Beth and I have worked together in our previous roles and I'm excited to have her join the Massage Envy leadership team," said Joe Magnacca, chief executive officer of Massage Envy. "Her proven ability to deliver on strategic initiatives, as well as her vast retail and franchise experience, will be a tremendous asset and complement to the team as we continue to innovate and drive business growth."

Stiller has over 20 years of domestic and international experience in both franchise and corporate environments, with a proven track record in innovating the customer experience, developing product and services, along with strong operational skills. Previously Stiller spent six years at Walgreens/Duane Reade where she led product development, brand management and sourcing activities for a $4.7 billion multi-brand portfolio. She also repositioned five brands via a consumer-led and validated brand development exercise and delivered an integrated strategic plan to drive top line growth and enhanced brand equity.

"What a great opportunity to join such an incredible brand that has not only pioneered the convenient and affordable massage and skincare membership space but is now looking to innovate and transform the category once again," said Stiller. "I'm excited to join such a strong and experienced leadership team to help the brand and the franchise network on its next phase of continued growth."

Along with Magnacca, Stiller joins Massage Envy's leadership team comprised of Debbie Gonzalez, chief brand officer; George Hines, chief information officer; Melanie Hansen, general counsel; Lee Knowlton, senior vice president, global franchise sales and international; and Greg Esgar, chief financial officer.
