Flashfood Names New CEO
Flashfood has named Jordan Schenck its new chief executive officer. She succeeds Nicholas Bertram, who will remain on the company’s board of directors. Since October 2024, she has served as Flashfood’s president and chief operating officer.
Schenck was recruited by Bertram in early 2023 to serve as Flashfood’s chief brand officer. Since joining the company she has been promoted twice, also holding the titles of chief customer officer and president and chief operating officer.
During her tenure, Schenck led the company’s transformational rebrand in January 2024, oversaw the relaunch of Flashfood’s consumer app, and was instrumental in the development and launch of Flashfood for Independents, a new platform for independently owned grocers.
“Jordan is a generational talent, and her growth over the last two years has benefited our company tremendously,” said Bertram. “She is ready to take on this role, and I am thrilled for her to lead our talented teammates as they achieve our mission of feeding families, not landfills.”
This transition comes at a pivotal time in Flashfood’s growth trajectory. The company has added more than 1,000 doors and experienced 200% revenue growth since completing its Series A in 2022, expanding its footprint to 33 states and all 10 Canadian provinces. This occurred while achieving B-Corp Certification, launching new products, and replatforming its applications to achieve even greater impact in North America.
"Stepping into the CEO role, I am energized by the extraordinary potential ahead of us,” said Schenck. “Flashfood’s technology has the power to build a world where food is never wasted and access to affordable, fresh products is a daily occurrence. With a product-driven approach, relentless innovation and the use of AI, we will empower grocers to turn close-dated inventory into a competitive advantage – earning more frequent shoppers and wasting zero food.”
Earlier in her career, Schenck served as co-founder and chief revenue officer of wellness brand Sunwink, a ready-to-drink beverages supplier. Before Sunwink, Schenck was head of consumer marketing for Impossible Foods and supported the company's growth across new verticals and markets.
