- By Anne D’innocenzio

NEW YORK — The CEO of a heavyweigh­t of home shopping on TV is leaving that job to take the top spot at Weight Watchers Internatio­nal Inc.

The companies said separately Wednesday that Mindy Grossman is leaving HSN Inc. on May 24 and assuming the role of president and CEO of Weight Watchers in July. She had been HSN’s CEO since 2008.

Grossman replaces James Chambers at the weight-loss program operator. Chambers stepped down in September amid the company’s struggles to build on the momentum it garnered from an alliance with Oprah Winfrey.
