Flashfood names Jordan Schenck CEO

Flashfood president and chief operating officer Jordan Schenck is taking the helm of the company as its new CEO.

Schenck succeeds Nicholas Bertram, who will remain on Flashfood’s board. Bertram was appointed CEO in January 2024.

Bertram recruited Schenck in early 2023 to serve as the company’s chief brand officer. She was promoted twice, from chief customer officer to president and chief operating officer.

In 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. 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,” Bertram said in a press release.

Schenck said she’s “energized” by Flashfood’s potential.

"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," she said. “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. Before that, she was head of consumer marketing for Impossible Foods.

Flashfood is an online marketplace that connects shoppers to fresh produce, meat and other groceries at up to 50% off.
