LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Flowspace, the ecommerce fulfillment platform empowering brands to meet their customers’ post-purchase expectations, today announced the appointment of Jessica Burgess as Vice President of Business Development. Burgess joins Flowspace from Ruby Has Fulfillment, where she oversaw a team that drove a nearly tenfold increase in revenue prior to the company’s acquisition by ShipMonk in January 2022.
Reporting to CRO Esther Kestenbaum Prozan, Burgess is responsible for managing the business development function that drives revenue growth and adoption of the Flowspace platform among brands.

The U.S. ecommerce market will top $1 trillion for the first time in 2022, per Insider Intelligence, driven by accelerating consumer preferences for low-cost products, free shipping, and delivery within 1-2 days. With its software-powered fulfillment platform and nationwide network of more than 130 locations, Flowspace provides brand operators with the flexibility, transparency, and insight needed to power a distributed fulfillment network while also maintaining the customer data critical to growth.
“Jessica has a proven track record of success as an ecommerce sales leader, and her leadership will immediately accelerate the success of the business development function at Flowspace,” said Prozan. “Jessica’s consultative, thoughtful approach to customer relationships will be invaluable as omnichannel brands seek fulfillment solutions that empower them to meet their customers’ post-purchase expectations.”
Burgess is a long-time leader in the ecommerce logistics space, committed to empowering sales teams with a cohesive, singular vision of success. While at Ruby Has, Burgess developed sales and life cycle strategies from the ground up, utilizing proven tactics, market research, and a consultative approach to develop rapport and redefine the customer experience, fostering long-term relationships and producing exceptional business results. She was recently named among the Most Influential Women in Supply Chain in Insights Success magazine.
“The Flowspace model is exactly what omnichannel brands need to succeed in ecommerce today,” said Burgess. “Flowspace is more than an ecommerce fulfillment company – the company’s distributed network and powerful platform truly empower merchants with the visibility and insights critical for success, and I’m excited to accelerate adoption amongst innovative brands.”
