Cédric Hutchings co-founded Withings in June 2008 with Éric Carreel and Frédéric Potter. The company is based at Issy-les-Moulineaux, near Paris, and makes connected health devices.
Withings launched its first Wi-Fi body scale in 2009 and a blood pressure monitor in 2011. In September 2010 it raised $3.8 million from Ventech, and in July 2013 it raised $30 million from Bpifrance, Idinvest, 360 Capital and Ventech.
Nokia agreed to buy Withings in April 2016 for about $192 million, and the deal closed on 31 May 2016. Hutchings moved to Silicon Valley to run Nokia Digital Health.
Nokia wrote down $164 million on the business in October 2017. In May 2018 Carreel bought Withings back. Hutchings did not join the restart.
