LOS ANGELES, October 4, 2022 – Flowspace, the software platform powering independent ecommerce fulfillment, announced today that Karen Chao has joined the organization as vice president of product to drive software development and innovation.
Chao will oversee teams developing Flowspace’s OmniFlow software, an innovative suite of tools built to empower brands selling online and in stores with the visibility, insights, and recommendations to optimize their supply chain and fulfillment operations, enabling them to offer consistently fast, efficient delivery from every channel.
With US online sales set to top $1T this year, the stakes for modern brands have never been higher.

Chao has served in product leadership roles for more than a decade across many successful software companies. Most recently she served as chief product officer at Nobul, where she focused on building a marketplace platform. Prior to that, Chao was head of fleet product at Booster Fuels, where she led teams that delivered insights and analytics to the largest ecommerce technology and transportation companies in the world. Earlier in her career she worked in product at Apple and supply chain management at Cisco. She holds engineering degrees from U.C. Berkeley and Stanford.
“As successful brands continue to diversify and enable omnichannel availability, they need Flowspace OmniFlow software to power scale,” said Ben Eachus, co-founder and CEO. “Karen’s leadership and long history developing customer-centric product expertise will propel our software offering to the next stage of growth.”
