Hims COO to depart in coming months

Hims & Hers’ Chief Operating Officer Melissa Baird will transition to an advisory role, the company announced in a Monday evening regulatory filing.

Baird, who has been at the company since 2018, shortly after it was founded, will stay at the company until her successor “has been identified, is in place, and fully up to speed on the business,” Hims & Hers said. From there, “Baird and the Company will enter into a long-term agreement at the time of her transition so the Company can continue to benefit from her specialized expertise.”

Hims stock was down slightly in after-hours trading. The company has taken a while to fill its Chief Technology Officer role, which has been open for over a year and faces a complicated turning point for its weight-loss segment, the fastest-growing part of the business.
