Soothe, the wellness company that delivers licensed, insured and background-checked massage therapists to homes and offices in 73 markets in five countries, has appointed John Ellis as chief executive officer effective immediately.
Ellis joins Soothe from Beachbody, where he was previously group vice president of Content and Commerce, overseeing product management, growth marketing and e-commerce operations for their digital subscription offering.
“John is the right person to lead the next phase of Soothe’s growth,” commented Soothe chairman of the board, Steve Pogorzelski. “His leadership style combined with his knowledge of the wellness space and extensive experience in market strategy, product development, and operations, make him the perfect fit for Soothe.”

Prior to Beachbody, Ellis founded two digital e-commerce startups and held executive and senior management positions at leading consumer brands like Yahoo!, Earthlink, and Kinko’s.
